Description
-
Aroma: Rich and inviting, dominated by concentrated dark fruits like plums, cherries, and sultanas. There are notes of mulled wine, Christmas cake, and subtle underlying sweet vanilla and oak spice.
-
Palate: Full-bodied and intense, with a velvety mouthfeel. The initial sweetness of red grapes, dried figs, and berries is quickly followed by the structure and spice imparted by the French oak, bringing flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a gentle tannic dryness. The spirit is clean and unpeated, allowing the wine influence to shine.
-
Finish: Long, warming, and structured. The dark fruit and spice linger, often with a final hint of cocoa or dark chocolate and a pleasant, dry oakiness.
