Nose

Blackcurrant wine gums, black cherries in syrup, kiwi, ripe strawberry and a touch of unlit pipe tobacco. Dried figs and almond butter.

Palate

Medium-full. Raisins, fresh pear, fresh red apple, dried fig, milk chocolate, roasted almonds, cinnamon, cola and strawberry jam. Fruit loaf with butter. Tinned mandarin and grapefruit segments. Plum wine. Subtle candied citrus peels.

Finish

Medium-long. The fruit loaf fades to glacé cherry, then back to mandarin segments.

Comment

Mature and well-rounded, with little heat despite the ABV.
