TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Rich and deeply inviting with fragrant vanilla pod, orange peel, and aniseed leading the way, layered with dried sultanas and figs, soft caramel, hints of dark chocolate, warm cinnamon, and a gentle complexity that speaks directly to nearly two decades in a single first-fill sherry hogshead.
PALATE
Full-bodied and silkily textured with stewed berries, Medjool dates, and cocoa powder at the fore, complemented by juicy red cherries, plums, toffee, milk chocolate, and a warming interplay of nutmeg, clove, and gentle wood spice — rich, layered, and entirely satisfying.
FINISH
Long, warming, and beautifully sustained with lingering honey sweetness, caramel, toasted oak, a touch of citrus brightness, and an elegant spiciness that unfolds gracefully — a deeply harmonious close that rewards patient contemplation.
