Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich notes of dark raisins, stewed plums and caramelized nuts. Underlying aromas of leather, tobacco and spicy oak add complexity, with a hint of orange peel for balance.

Palate

Full-bodied and intense with deep sherry sweetness. Flavours of dates, dark chocolate and espresso dominate, followed by hints of cinnamon, clove and toasted oak. Creamy and spicy in equal measure.

Finish

Long and intense with lingering dark fruit, warming spices and a dry, slightly bitter edge of pure cocoa and wood.
