Tasting note

Colour

Dark amber

Nose

A rich and complex aroma with deep sherry notes (raisins, dates, sultanas) and a beautiful oaky sweetness. Additin of a little water releases a vibrant, spicy character with hints of vanilla, butterscotch and polished leather.

Taste

A wonderful balance of rich oak notes and sweet, fruity spice. Initially very intense with lots of tannin and mouth coating wood flavour. After a few minutes a subtle vanilla sweetness and gentle fruity character develops (baked apple, rhubarb, ripe pears). The layers of flavour continue to unfold ove a very long period meandering from oak to sweet to fruity to spicy and back again.

Finish

Very long and lingering with a warm, zweet afterglow.
