Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, rich amber with coppery-red highlights and a mahogany edge.
Nose
An opulent, sherry-kissed aroma unfolds with plum and raisin sweetness, dried fig and date, and a hint of orange zest. Notes of burnt sugar, cocoa, and coffee bean drift over polished oak, while cedar, almond paste, and nutmeg lend warmth. Subtle tobacco and leather emerge, finishing with a luxurious, long-lived echo of chocolate-dried fruit.
Palate
Silky and full on the palate, with rich Sherry influence delivering dark fruit sweetness—raisin, fig and plum—woven with cocoa, toasted almond and gentle spice. A refined, lingering finish framed by soft oak and an orange zest lift.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with dried fruit, orange zest and cocoa that gently fades into toasted oak and spice. A warm, lingering glow preserves a refined sweetness, with a subtle leather echo as the last traces fade.
