Appearance: Light, brilliant amber Nose: An open nose of dried fruit and yellow fruit, underpinned by woody and spicy notes. Palate: On the palate, the velvety, full-bodied texture accompanies flavours of dried and candied fruit, enhanced by spices. Bitter chocolate and a hint of toast then emerge, creating a successful balance between sweetness and spice, with the alcohol well integrated. The finish is long and pleasant. Overall impression: A rounded and balanced whole, where dried fruit and chocolate harmonise with the spices against a velvety texture.
