Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of dark cherry, dried fig, and sticky toffee pudding, interwoven with hints of warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Underneath, a delicate suggestion of toasted oak and a whisper of almond marzipan emerge, indicative of the port barrel influence.

Palate: The entry is remarkably viscous and full-bodied, delivering an explosion of sweet, jammy red fruits – think ripe raspberry and plum – balanced by a robust caramel and vanilla core. A delightful warmth builds slowly, carrying notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and a subtle nutty character. The proof, though unknown, clearly amplifies the intensity without overwhelming the intricate flavors.

Finish: Long, luxurious, and evolving. The fruit notes linger beautifully, fading into a gentle warmth of oak and well-integrated spice. A satisfying dryness gradually develops, leaving behind echoes of bittersweet chocolate, a hint of coffee, and a pleasant, lingering sweetness that invites another sip.
