" The nose has well aged notes of sweet nuts, candied fruits, madeirised elements with apricots. It is very complex with sweetness and wood notes creating a harmoniously balanced palate. The spicy mid-palate gives it a refreshing lift. It is a tiny bit sharper on the alcohol but with a nice warmth and adequate strength to support the rich selection of flavours and to provide a long finish. A superb example of elegance. "
