- Nose
- Beautiful sherried notes of marzipan, vanilla, blackberries, red apple skin, old leather, dry baking spice, brown sugar, nutmeg, hazelnuts, and a touch of shaving cream. Rich, dark, redolent of sherry wood with classic figs and dates, hints of wax, mint, ripe apricots, leather, parsley, cardamom, and a touch of smoke. Cherries and raspberries emerge over time.
- Palate
- Earthy with flapjacks, dried figs, fat raisins, dates, dry spices, orchard fruits, chocolate liquorice bullets, more hazelnuts, drying tannins, and leather. Rich with herbs, raisins, chocolate, mint, prunes, liquorice, and cinnamon.
- Finish
- Ridiculously long, with chocolate, oak, hints of oranges, earthy/bitter notes, and a return of orange and apricot.
