Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich golden amber with warm copper highlights, a sunlit honey glow.
Nose
Sherry-soaked richness fills the nose: fig and raisin with orange zest, honey and dark chocolate. A coastal whisper of sea air and salted caramel threads through vanilla and toasted almond, while warm spice—cinnamon and clove—lends polish. Aromas linger with oak resin and a refined, luxurious depth.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied on the palate, it reveals rich dried-fruit notes—raisin, fig, and orange zest—woven with cocoa, almond, and a touch of spice. Sherry influence lends toffee, dark chocolate, and a warm oak depth, with a delicate maritime edge that lingers into a long, refined finish.
Finish
Extends with a refined, sherried warmth: dried fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate and toffee, while a whisper of sea spray and almond toast lingers, fading into a long, elegant finish.
