Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with mahogany undertones and a warm copper glow.
Nose
Opulent, velvety nose of dark fruits—prune, fig and cherry—accented by sultana sweetness. Port-seasoned oak releases cacao, cocoa nibs, caramelized vanilla and spice (nutmeg, clove). Subtle tobacco, leather and cedar deepen the bouquet, while a bright hint of orange zest lifts the aroma. A mature, luxurious perfume that promises extraordinary richness and refined elegance.
Palate
Velvet, full-bodied richness with dark plum, fig and cherry notes, intensified by port-seasoned oak. A refined sweetness threads through a silky frame of spice and cocoa, with integrated tannins lifting the finish into a long, warming, luxurious harmony.
Finish
Silky, enduring finish that drapes the palate in velvet richness. Port-influenced oak lends dark fruit, fig and cherry, with a thread of spice that lingers into a warm, cocoa-dusted sweetness. A refined, velvety coating persists, closing with a gentle kiss of oak and polished tannins.
