Nose

A deep and rich start with sticky malt loaf, Pedro Ximinez sherry and antique furniture. Under the sweetness there’s layers of spice with a focus on Xmas baking and mulled fruit.

Palate

A mouthcoating oily texture on the characterful palate carries the weight and the many layers of spice and sweetness. Notes of red apple, black cherry and cough candy make way to a chocolate and mocha character.

Finish

Long, complex and dry tannins now lead with notes of black coffee and high-quality dark chocolate. A peppery warmth and oak style linger with a very late hit of vanilla and liquorice.
