Tasting Notes:
Nose: At first whiff there are ripe dark berries with freshly rolled cigars. The gentle tobacco aroma is embraced by the sweetness of vinous sultanas and cassis.

Palate: Afternoon tea with chocolate raspberry truffles, candied ginger,scones with clotted cream and orange marmalade and almond & cinnamon croissants. Silky and luscious tannins are a reminder of the elegant wine once contained in these casks.

Finish: Mouth-watering at first then getting a touch drier with plum jam and mild spices.
