- Finish
- Drying oak.
- Comment

- Nose
- Intense. Polished old furniture. Dried fruit. Sultanas soaked in a cinnamon syrup. Treacle. Rich Christmassy sweetness. Old sherry. Opens on a
fresher note of mint chocolate.
- Palate
- Sweet at first then revealing a crisp fruity sourness.Sherry in a velvet glove… Oak is elegantly integrated
- Finish
- Big,long,drying on spices.
- Comment
- The charming old-fashioned touch of an confectionary shop lined with oak panels. Rich, elegant. Takes you back to your childhood Christmases.
