Aroma
The aroma is deep and warm: baked apple, toffee, sherry dried fruits, dark chocolate, spicy oak and nutty sweetness.
Taste
The palate is rich and mature: dark chocolate, orange zest, raisins, figs, nuts, spices, and fine oak. The palate is dense, deep, and slowly unfolds, with a pronounced sherry sweetness and a dry, aged cask.
Aftertaste
Very long, chocolatey-sherry-like and warming, leaving a rich trail of orange, raisins, nuts, spices and old oak.
Advantages
Older ageing, deep sherry profile and mature texture
