Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with rich copper undertones.
Nose
Complex and layered with dried fruit, ripe plums, and sultanas. Notes of toasted oak, cinnamon, and a hint of leather emerge. A waxy, honeyed character develops with time.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied with spiced stone fruit and deep sherry influence. Dried apricots and figs blend with cinnamon and clove, supported by robust oak tannins. The palate is warming and slightly oily.
Finish
Long and warming finish with lingering spice, dried fruit, and a pleasant oak dryness. A touch of chocolate and walnut fades gradually.
