Sight
Deep mahogany with burgundy highlights, incredibly viscous.
Nose
Rich and complex with dried red fruits, chocolate, and aged sherry influence. Notes of fig, raisin, leather, and subtle smoke.

Powerful and structured with dark chocolate, dried fruits, and warming spice. Sherry cask influence brings toffee and dried berries with robust oak character.
Finish
Exceptional length with chocolate, dried fruit, and warming spice that fades into mineral oak.
