Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with warm golden honey tones and coppery undertones.
Nose
Crisp apple, peach and plum mingle with dried cherry and raisin, lifted by a soft Moscatel sheen. Warming spice and brown sugar weave through coffee notes, creating a luscious, fruit-forward aroma with inviting sweetness.
Palate
On the palate, bright apple, raisin and cherry ride a sweet spiced edge of rich brown sugar and coffee. Fresh peach and plum bring a youthful lift, while a creamy, full-bodied texture coats the mouth with lingering warmth and gentle sweetness.
Finish
Long, fruit-forward finish with dried raisin, cherry and apple carried by peachy sweetness. Rich brown sugar and coffee spice echo through the tail, while the Moscatel Sherry finish leaves a syrupy, luscious veneer that lingers warmly, tapering to a polished, oaken fade.
