Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm amber gold with a rich honeyed appearance; medium-full legs
Nose
Rich, warm, and sweet — honey, heather, vanilla fudge, and dark fruit. Sherry influence brings raisin and fig notes. Gentle nuttiness and hint of cinnamon
Palate
Silky smooth and notably rich. Dark fruit (raisin, fig, date), honey, marzipan, cinnamon, and sherry-influenced warmth. Solera vatting creates creamy, layered mouthfeel with dried fruit sweetness
Finish
Long, lingering finish. Rich sherry sweetness fading through dried fruit, dark chocolate, and gentle oak spice. Marzipan and honey warmth persist
