Tasting Notes
Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of rich caramel and toasted oak immediately greets the nose, underpinned by notes of dried dark fruit, particularly fig and raisin. A delicate whisper of vanilla bean and a hint of warm baking spice – cinnamon and nutmeg – emerge, rounded out by a subtle leatheriness indicative of its age.
Palate: The first sip delivers a powerful yet incredibly smooth entry, showcasing a delightful marriage of sweet and savory. Dark chocolate and buttery toffee unfold across the mid-palate, complemented by roasted nuts and a pleasant char. A warm, spicy tingle of black pepper and clove balances the sweetness, leading to nuanced layers of dried cherry and a hint of tobacco leaf.
Finish: Long, luxurious, and exceedingly warming. The finish lingers with echoes of sweet oak and a persistent, gentle spice. Notes of dark fruit persist, evolving into a pleasant dryness with a touch of espresso and a final, satisfying warmth that coats the palate.
