- Nose
- Syrupy and piney, chestnuts, custard, notes of prune, rich dry sherry and chocolate. Sweet beast of a sherry bomb with nuts, sandalwood, toffee, milk chocolate, and a spicy kick. Appealing and complex, with peanut butter, chocolate, rose, gentle oak spice, and lime.
- Palate
- Soft and silky yet bold, light sweetness with berry wine gums, herbs and gentle spice. Spicy and full, a bit citric with an oily and thick texture. Dark chocolate, vanilla, pepper, nuts, oranges, wood. Heavy, meaty, coffee, tobacco, maggi sauce, slight metallic twang, raisins, figs, maraschino cherry, clove, sticky toffee pudding, chestnut honey, cocoa, and old furniture oak.
- Finish
- Explodes with richness, dry sherry notes, dried fruit and warming oak. Long, chest-warming, sweet, ending on a lingering dry note. Lingers forever with coffee, dark chocolate, citrus peel, walnut, balsamic notes, and a dunnage/old basement edge to the oak.
