Nose: Heavy influence from the sherry casks. Dried fruits and grape juice. Store fresh rubber tires. With time also nuts and chocolate.

Taste: Rich and full bodied. Lovely balance between the rather heavy sweetness, mature and ripe fruitiness and exotic spices. Honey, cacao nibs and leather.

Finish: Medium long finish. Remains fresh and dark at the same time. Multilayered sweet fruitiness. Dark toffee and rich custard.

Comment: Tantalizing tongue twister.
