Clear, bright, with heavy sediment, Copper/mahogany with gold rim, medium plus concentration, high viscosity.

Clean, high intensity, matured, rancio character, raisin, Christmas fruitcake, prunes, dried figs, apricots, complex and layered, oxidative oak, thrilling aromatics.

Sweet, yet so fresh and lively, tamarind cook in sugar on texture, caramel, treacle, intense and broad mouth feels, rich well offset by medium acidity, peppery spicy farewell, still so much fruit.
