Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep mahogany amber with reddish-brown depth; extraordinarily rich and full appearance
Nose
Magnificent depth — concentrated dried fruit, old sherry, antique leather, beeswax, and polished walnut. Dark treacle, bitter orange, and rancio notes. Hints of cigar box, sandalwood, and dried rose petals. Museum-piece complexity
Palate
Extraordinarily rich and complex. Concentrated fig, date, and raisin compote. Bitter chocolate, espresso, and treacle toffee. Deep oloroso sherry, old leather, and mature oak tannins. Beeswax, sandalwood, and gentle pipe tobacco. Silky, full body with perfect balance of sweetness and dryness
Finish
Exceptionally long and evolving. Waves of dried fruit, dark chocolate, old sherry, and antique wood. Leather and tobacco emerge in the far finish. Graceful, dignified, and unforgettable
