Nose Big notes of rich, old oak, chocolate coffee beans, and sherried fruit cake, with boozy plums, glace cherries, and sultanas backed by thick toffee, toasted marzipan, and cinnamon.
Palate Generous dustings of cocoa join stewed plums, and runny treacle, with roasted coffee, notes of blueberry, clementine, and a tickle of candied ginger. Waves of sweet tobacco waft beneath.
Finish Superbly rich helpings of sherry-soaked fruit, with softly warming baking spice, syrupy cake, cacao, and coffee, while tannic old oak brings notes of candied walnuts and mellow old leather.
