Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, a warm, honeyed glow in the glass.
Nose
Like opening a spice cabinet, the aroma unfolds with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg weaving with perfumed cedarwood, touched by lemon zest and hazelnut.
Palate
Spicy and silky on the palate, with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg coating the tongue, backed by toasted hazelnut and cedar. A lift of lemon keeps it alive, while Madeira’s sweetness threads through caramel and dried fruit, culminating in a long, warmed apple-pie finish.
Finish
Long, luxurious and warming, the finish evokes warm apple pie—spiced with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, with a gentle cedar echo and hazelnut sweetness that lingers on the palate.
