Nose: Wine gums and dried fruits, rich and wonderfully creamy. Lovely, decadent vibes here, with a deep and inviting sweetness. With time, hints of toasted oak emerge, accompanied by cinnamon and creamy vanilla.
Taste: Full bodied. Rich and sweet, with red berries taking centre stage. Rowan berries add a slightly tart, bitter edge. Semi-dry in character, despite all that richness.
Finish: Medium long finish. The character grows even darker now, with leather, cinnamon, toasted oak, and honey adding further depth. A soft, perfumed note emerges before white pepper brings a gentle spicy kick towards the end.
Comment: Decadent twist.
