Nose: Fresh sherry notes, with juicy plums and cherry syrup, followed by a hint of cotton candy, as well as polished leather. A whisper of pineapple. Whispers of tropical fruit, such as pineapple. Slightly metallic.
Taste: Quite a bit of oak, and a bit thin. There’s some honey and sultanas, but it is also pretty spicy and acidic, more so than I expected. Hints of menthol, as well as passion fruit.
Finish: A little more room for dried fruits here, as well as cocoa powder. Medium in length.
