Aroma: The top notes are of Christmas cake with burnt edges and toasted flaked almonds, which become gamey and meaty after a while (roast grouse). Themid-notes are both fruity (old Madeira) and floral - a heady, scented fragrance of tropical lilies on a hot night. The base note is reminiscent of burnt toffee.
Taste: A creamy, mouth-filling texture and a sweet taste overall, with treacle toffee in mid-palate and a suggestion of wine-marinaded and glazed pork.Then, a perfumed finish, pleasantly mouth-cooling with lingering warm spice.
Finish: Rich, mellow, and rounded, layered and complex, with each layer of aroma and taste revealing itself in turn.
