Rich notes of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs, meld harmoniously with hints of warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Also notes of mulled wine, cloves, big juniper berries, spearmint and coffee toffee.
Palate
Velvety caramel, dark chocolate, and dried fruits, complemented by a subtle undertone of oak. Also notes of soy sauce, balsamico and barbecued beef. Thick, oily, rich.
Finish
Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet vanilla and a gentle warmth. Rich but clean and pure, with a faint saltiness and an aftertaste on blackberry jelly.
