Layers of intensely sweet and savory notes unfold: sticky toffee pudding, treacle, and caramelized sugar, balanced by a robust dryness from the Oloroso sherry. There's a delightful interplay of black cherry, dark plum, and dates, complemented by a warming spice medley of ginger, nutmeg, and a whisper of espresso bean.
