Nose
Elegant aromas of dried fruits, rich caramel, and toffee, complemented by delicate notes of orange zest and soft oak spices. Hints of vanilla and a subtle sherry sweetness add depth.

Silky and well-rounded, with flavours of stewed fruits, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. A touch of honeyed nuts and light oak tannins provide a perfect balance, with a gentle warmth from the sherry cask influence.
Finish
Long and smooth, leaving lingering notes of spiced orange, toasted almonds, and a whisper of rich oak. The sherry sweetness fades gracefully, leaving a satisfying warmth.
