Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Colour: Mordor… or Auburn. Basically, quite dark.
Nose: Some nice depth here… Intense aromas of cocoa, figs, apple strudel and baked fruits.
Palate: Delicious, full-bodied, viscous and chewy. Molten brown sugars combine with dark chocolate and crème brûlée. Morello cherries, treacle and a touch of mocha. A hint of star anise perhaps? There is much happening here, but it all seems very well knitted together.
