Nose: Mouthwatering stuff here. Loads of stewed apple and fresh chocolate-chip cookie wafts. A little hint of Christmas cake and cane sugar (which develops a subtle grassiness - a bit rhum agricole-like).
Palate: Dark chocolate, old oak and nutmeg. Honey-roasted cashew notes give balance to sweeter hints of chocolate-covered raisins. Apple slices return on the mid-palate.
Finish: Waxy red liquorice, black pepper and a touch of blackcurrant jam.
