Tasting note: Very deep polished mahogany appearance with some particles floating in the glass, however, it should be noted that the sample on offer was a near empty bottle, so some natural sediment would be expected. It issues a profound perfume of dried apricot and fig, clove and cigar box as well as hints of muscat; Several minutes later hints of candied orange peel and vanilla emerge. A soft, svelte like entry leads into a creamy textured mid palate featuring Christmas cake, sweet tobacco and muscat notes, the latter accentuating towards the finish. Perfect balance. Concludes long and mildly tannic as the wood and dried fruit notes interchange into the prolonged aftertaste. Superb. 38% Alc./Vol.
