Tasting note

Nose

A rich aroma of dried fruits such as figs, dates, and raisins, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and a hint of orange zest. Subtle hints of leather and tobacco add extra complexity.

Palate

Full-bodied and powerful, with layers of toffee, caramel, and plum compote. The sherry influence brings depth, with a gentle spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg. A delicate touch of oak provides balance.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, honey, and a hint of salinity. The finish is elegant and lingers beautifully.
