"Creme brulee, allspice, candied ginger, straw, and honey roasted nut aromas follow through on a delicate, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body with accents of lemongrass, linkwort, wet limestone, and heather. Finishes with a long, graceful and warming fade that brings the captivating flavors into a pleasingly harmonious, impressionistic focus. A benchmark of delicacy, balance, and elegance."

Nose – A rich, vibrant aroma. Beautiful ripe apricots and plums combined with dates, raisins and sultanas. The vanilla oak notes from the Spanish oak cask envelop the other aromas to deliver a wonderfully balanced and complex experience. Taste – Tremendously full bodied with layers of tannin, spice and fruity sweetness. The initial flavour is driven by rich oak and mouth coating tannin which gently makes way for soft vanilla and a creamy smoothness. After a few minutes its spicy character of cinnamon, nutmeg and spiced apple develops. The finale is warm and oaky with a hint of bitter dark chocolate. Finish – Exceptionally long, rich and oaky
