Tasting Notes
Colour
Light mahogany with a natural warmth and subtle amber depth.
Nose
Opulent sherry aroma greets with dark dried fruit—raisin, prune and fig—layered over warm toasted oak. Spiced notes emerge: ginger and cinnamon, with a whisper of orange zest and cocoa. Rich, resinous oak and a mahogany hue hint at time in Jerez casks, inviting a velvety, luxurious sweetness that lingers and invites another inhalation.
Palate
Full-bodied palate of mature oak, bright ginger and ripe raisin, delivering a rich, spiced sweetness with a long, warming finish.
Finish
Long, warming, and elegantly spiced, the finish carries mature oak and ginger with raisin sweetness, all shaded by sherry influence. It lingers with dried fruit depth and a velvety, refined warmth.
