Rich and deep. It is slightly shy initially, but with a sense of massed weight. Stewed black and orchard fruits with an immediate earthy note and some spice. It gets progressively darker and richer balanced by the sweetness.

Robust and full body. Palate coating.Opens with a sweet, dry baking spice character with cinnamon, allspice and cacao powder. This moves into a mid-palate of overripe banana and a rich butterscotch with hints of Jasmine tea and Acacia Honey.

Surprisingly, it sweetens again. Long, complex and meaty. Now you also get the Syrah-like sootiness.
