Appearance: Medium amber, brilliant Nose: Caramel and coffee, enhanced by gentle spices. Palate: The attack, slightly sweet, reveals brown sugars and dark fruits, joined by sweet orange. The smooth, full-bodied texture is underpinned by lovely structure and well-integrated alcohol. The fairly long finish drifts towards black liquorice. Overall impression: A generous and precise blend, where caramelised notes harmonise with fruit and spices in an elegant balance.
