Nose: A rich, creamy and sweet nose with notes of figs, dates and mincepies, hot from the overn. Hints of cigar leaf, pepper and allspice, and oodles of juicy, rich Oloroso sherry.
Palate: Sweet and sticky with notes of dates and prunes, allspice again, nutmeg and toffee apple, developing into caramelised sugar on rhubarb crumble with lashings of fresh custard.
Finish: Great length - an engulfing, spicy explosion of fruit and sherry.
