Nose: Dried fruits and cinnamon lead, joined by a faint whiff of shoe polish. Borderline sherry bomb territory. Floral notes appear with time, alongside a hint of fresh barley juice.

Taste: Full bodied and now decidedly sugary sweet. Waves of ripe, fresh and juicy fruits flood the palate.

Finish: Medium long. Bursting with juicy fruit chewing gum sweetness. Bright, lively and exuberant.

Comment: Juicy, playful and near sherry bomb.
