Nose: Some dates are followed by a little harsh plum and apricot wine note, which at first appears to be a touch of saltiness but is better described as a slightly sharp plum and apricot wine note. There's orange zest, toffee, notes of struck match, and chocolate raisins, but there's also pear drops, a sprinkling of sweet cinnamon, honeysuckle, and sweet pea before it gets too 'Sherried.' Palate: Fruity, then sweet, with more toffee and a hint of anise, before transitioning to milk chocolate. Apple turnovers, flakes, and banoffee pie Finish: Now there's a lot of creamy toffee, a little oak, and a lot of sweet barley sugar warmth. The taste of milk chocolate raisins lingers. |
