Tasting Notes:

Nose: Deep, rich Oloroso character with dark raisins, fig syrup and spiced fruitcake. Notes of roasted hazelnuts, dark chocolate, polished oak, burnt orange peel and subtle leather add impressive complexity.

Palate: Powerful and full-bodied at cask strength. Layers of dates, sultanas and black cherries mingle with toffee, nutmeg, cocoa and a hint of espresso. Velvety in texture with a refined balance of sherry sweetness, warming spice and elegant oak structure.

Finish: Long, luxurious and deeply satisfying. Lingering flavours of spiced fruit loaf, dark chocolate, toasted nuts, leather and gentle oak tannins, with a final flourish of dried figs and warm sherry richness.
