Nose: Orange liqueur, dried fruits and American blueberry pancakes. Underneath there’s soft hints of new leather and lacquered oak, with slowly building cinnamon and nutmeg heat.
Palate: Slightly chocolatey at first, with plenty of Christmas spice and full-bodied dark fruits. Creamy toffee, exotic fruit and a little sandalwood and red grape add depth.
Finish: Bittersweet and wonderfully long.
