Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Medium gold with excellent clarity and bright luminosity.
Nose
Mature and complex with dried orchard fruits, honey, and vanilla. Notes of caramel and toasted oak develop with time, alongside subtle spice and a hint of heather.
Palate
Rich and balanced with toffee, ripe stone fruits, and warm spice. The palate shows good depth with honey sweetness balanced by gentle oak tannins and a creamy texture.
Finish
Long, warming finish with lingering honey, spice, and dried fruit. A touch of oak dryness rounds out the experience.
