Nose: Light and fresh fruitiness initially, quickly deepening into dried fruits, red berries and mild oakiness.

Taste: Full bodied. Spicy upfront with rich sweetness from dried fruits and a clear oak influence. Not a full sherry bomb, but distinctly sherry-leaning.

Finish: Long. Rich, fruity and softly floral with layered spices and dried fruits. Ends on a bright peppermint and fresh mint note.

Comment: Sherry-leaning with minty lift.
