Gold color. Aromas and flavors of dried Medjool dates, spiced fig syrup, dark caramel and Scottish fudge on bread pudding, and cigar box and lavender with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, nuanced, medium-long finish that shows touches of fruit cake and honey, vanilla and caramel drizzled pralines, claro tobacco and cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and and clove. A beautifully aged sherry cask-forward expression; a rich and comforting dessert dram.
