This is a beautifully fragrant and fresh Fino aged traditionally under a layer of flor with an average age of 9 years. On the palate it is intense and focussed with intense notes of bruised apple, sourdough, citrus peel and salted almonds.
In the nose its bouquet is extremely rich with predominantly sweet notes of dried fruits such as raisins, figs and dates, accompanied by the aromas of honey, grape syrup, jam and candied fruit, at the same time reminiscent of toasted coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa and liquorice.
