NOSE Sherry, chocolate, dried dark fruit, xmas cake, gourmet licorice, roasted nuts and some baking spice. Wow, ok. This is a dark, heavy, warm aroma that delivers on the complexity. PALATE Sherry, chocolate, gourmet licorice, nuts, fruit cake, vanilla frosting, malty sweetness, dried dark fruit, and some oak, leather and baking spice. I’m very happy with this palate, this is tasty. FINISH Med-long -> Dark fruit, malt, cocoa, spice and oak drift out gently.
