Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a burnished mahogany edge, hinting at rich sherry influence.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven nose with dark plum and fig, intertwined with raisins and red berries. Rich cocoa and toasted almond mingle with subtle leather and tobacco, while spices—clove and cinnamon—linger, lifted by a bright hint of orange zest and polished oak.
Palate
Velvet, medium-full on the palate, this sherried North Port coats the tongue with rich dried fruit—fig, raisin, and date—intertwined with dark chocolate, treacle, and espresso. Subtle orange zest and red berry brightness lift the fruit, while cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove mingle with warm oak. A long, warming finish carries leather and tobacco whispers.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with dried fruit, cocoa and spice, seasoned by oak and a delicate sherry-tinged sweetness. A warm, refined afterglow lingers, softly resinous and inviting the next sip.
