Description
This classification is a mature style with greater intensity and mouth filling depth of flavour, complexity and viscosity: producing layers of texture and flavour with seamless integration of the flavours of fruit, grape spirit and mature oak. Rich, deep brown in colour, with complex raisined fruit characters, coffee bean, dark chocolate and a distinct ‘aged oak’ lift. An incredible depth of luscious raisined fruit floods the front palate. Walnut, dark chocolate, ground coffee bean, vanilla and nutty dry mature oak characters add complexity, before an incredibly long, drawn out finish.
