Nose
Rich fruit aromas of dark cherries, Medjool dates, and raisins, accompanied by warming cinnamon, sticky toffee pudding, and deep aged oak.
Palate
Deceptively sweet entry with a nostalgic medley of vanilla, baked apple, and freshly grated nutmeg. The mid-palate shifts to intense, resinous oak, layered with warming aniseed and clove. Full and oily mouthfeel.
Finish
Long and luxurious, tapering slowly through gentle waves of spice, lingering sweetness, and antique oak. The sherry influence persists.
