Mid-tawny in colour. A complex bouquet that offers lovely rancio, coffee and spice characters with a disarming freshness and hint of nougat. Stylish on the palate, showing a gorgeous interplay of old rancio and dried fruit flavours. Seamless spirit integration, pin-sharp balance and an outstanding length of persistence.
