89 / 100
The ripe dried fruit, fig and date give this a clear, familiar fruit thread, while walnut adds a more savoury edge. I like the contrast on the palate: bold sherry notes and dark chocolate meet cinnamon and pronounced oak spice, rather than letting the fruit take over. The long, dry finish with almonds and gentle nuttiness sounds like a satisfying close. A rich, assertive style, but the fruit keeps it inviting.
