Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany-tinged glow.

Nose

Sherry-forward with lively ginger and rich honey, mingling sweet stewed red berries, orange zest and a hint of aniseed; a warm, spice-laden bouquet that speaks to its depth.

Palate

Sweet stewed red berries dominate the palate, lifting with orange zest and aniseed. The sherry influence adds a warming, fruit-driven sweetness followed by gentle spice, finishing medium-bodied with lingering fruit and spice.

Finish

Medium-length finish of fruity warmth and spice, with lingering notes of orange zest, red berries and ginger, finished by a soft sherry kiss that slowly fades.
