Sweet Sherry influences with stewed fruit and hints of cocoa. Peppery on the palate with apple, cinnamon, grapefruit and dark chocolate. A trace of roasted nuts on the finish.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery glints and a mahogany-tinged rim, a warm, sherry-kissed glow.
Nose
Sweet sherry-nuanced aroma with stewed orchard fruits and a subtle cocoa undertone, touched by a whisper of roasted nuts. Warm, inviting and indulgent, hinting at depth to follow.
Palate
Peppery and bright, with crisp apple and grapefruit edged by cinnamon, underpinned by sweet sherry and stewed fruit. Cocoa notes deepen the palate, then a trace of roasted nuts lingers alongside dark chocolate on the finish.
Finish
Trace roasted nuts linger on the finish, softly rounded by cocoa and a whisper of dark chocolate. A gentle pepper warmth remains, fading to a refined, nutty afterglow.
