Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany with ruby-amber highlights and a caramel-bronze glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry floods the nose: prune, plum, date and raisin with orange marmalade and dark toffee. Cocoa nibs and espresso deepen the scent, tempered by polished oak. Cinnamon and clove mingle with leather and tobacco, finishing with a delicate cigar-box note and a hint of resinous sweetness.
Palate
Opulent and powerful, the palate delivers sherry-driven depth: dark plum, fig and prune layered with orange zest and blackberry. Rich cocoa, leather and toasted oak mingle with warm spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—while sturdy tannins shape a long, resinous finish. Velvety yet vigorous, it carries a chocolatey, tobacco-laden afterglow.
Finish
An opulent, long finish of caramelized sherry fruit: prune, fig and dark cherry gradually yield to cocoa, espresso and toasted almond. Cinnamon and clove linger with a refined oak warmth, leaving a velvety, lasting glow.
