88 / 100
The finish has a clear bitter-sweet edge, with dark chocolate and oak meeting exotic spice. That’s the part I find most compelling: it gives the rich sherry character a firmer close rather than leaving it all on the sweeter side. Orange and dried fruit add contrast on the palate, while the full-bodied, creamy texture suggests plenty of weight. The notes don’t establish how long the finish lasts, but its character sounds vivid and substantial.
