A great nose, raw sugar sprinkled over sherry-soaked cream, shredded dried cherries drizzled with toffee (once the alcohol sting wears off), rather oily. A jammy, rich palate really shines here, very sweet, fresh cherries, orange marmalade, overripe bananas, raisins and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper and allspice. A medium finish, dry with plenty of pepper and spice, whipped cream, dried fruits and a lovely warmth that takes time to dissipate, maybe slightly marred by a slight bitterness just at the very end?
