Nose:
Sweet red berries, Seville oranges, plummy fruits and sticky toffee pudding, clove-studded orange, rich raspberry and prune, a touch of sponge cake.

Palate:
Full and rich mouthfeel with flavors of nectarines, creamy caramel, roasted chestnuts, Java coffee and chocolatey. Waves of dried fruit and stem ginger notes appear. A touch of earthy bitterness develops later on, balanced by runny honey.

Long with rich plums, sultanas, blood oranges and macerated cherries. Hints of roast chestnuts, gingerbread and tobacco.
