Tasting notes：

Nose: An exquisite aroma of rich dried fruits, including dates and prunes, complemented by decadent notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Hints of cedar wood and a delicate floral undertone add complexity, with whispers of vanilla and nutmeg rounding out the nose.

Palate: Elegantly smooth and well-rounded. The palate opens with a burst of sherry sweetness, seamlessly integrated with flavors of toffee, caramel, and roasted almonds. Mid-palate, layers of spiced orange, blackcurrant, and clove emerge, underpinned by a subtle smokiness and a touch of oak.

Finish: Long, warm, and sophisticated. The finish is characterized by lingering notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a gentle spiciness, leaving a lasting impression of richness and balance.
