Tasting Notes

"The nose is exceptional. Dried figs, peaches, apples and walnuts. Aromas of old oak, roasted almonds, and rich sherry join the fruit. The mouth-coating, rich mouthfeel allows the fruit notes to escalate, as the presence of cinnamon and winter spice becomes evident. The finish is long, rich and oily, with hints of dark chocolate, licorice, and sweet, aged plums throughout."
