Bronze color. Aromas and flavors of raisin chutney, malted chocolate bar, and anise cookie and gingerbread with a chewy, vibrant, fruity fat body and a peppery, interesting, long finish with accents of chocolate cherries and peaches, rich baking spices, sticky toffee pudding, and peppercorns. A bold, warming Sherry influence makes this a dark contemplative sipper.
