Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with bronze-gold and copper undertones.
Nose
Silky and opulent, the nose offers dark fruits—prune, fig and raisin—bright citrus and creamy toffee. Sherry notes lend raisin sweetness, balanced with vanilla, almond and cacao, all wrapped in toasted oak. A subtle hint of leather and tobacco adds refined, collectible depth.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, this Blue Label edition unfurls an opulent weave of toffee, dried fruit and vanilla, led by sherried oak. Rich cacao and spice mingle with creamy fruit on the palate, while a refined backbone holds steady. The finish is long and elegant, with hints of orange zest and tobacco lingering.
Finish
Silky, enduring finish that coats the palate with velvet richness. Notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and caramel unfold, tempered by sherry-tinged oak and a whisper of spice. A warm, tobacco-soft glow lingers long, leaving a refined, polished impression.
