Nose: Full-on fruity richness with unmistakable Madeira influence. Sweet and slightly malty, with layers of dried fruits and a touch of caramelized sugar.
Taste: Full-bodied, bursting with raisins, dates, and nutty undertones. Tropical fruits add an exotic twist, while subtle oak spice balances the sweetness.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Drying, with more dried fruits and nutty depth. A green, herbal touch emerges in the final moments.
Comment: Intense, concentrated and wonderfully complex.
