Tasting Notes
Colour
Light mahogany with a natural, warm glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven bouquet with dark raisin and dried plum, folded into toasted oak. Notes of orange zest, fig and spice such as cinnamon and clove, underpin a subtle caramel sweetness, all wrapped in mahogany richness.
Palate
On the palate, a full-bodied weave of mature oak and ginger spice frames a generous core of raisin sweetness. The sherry influence lends depth and complexity, with a warm, lingering finish that hints at mahogany-toned richness.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish with dried raisin and ginger lingering in velvety oak; a subtle sherry sweetness persists, weaving warm spice and toasted wood into the lingering afterglow.
