Tasting Profile
Nose: Prominent vanilla and oak up front, followed by a richer, darker layer that reads like sherry-spice warmth and polished sweetness. Fruit notes suggest fig and ripe orchard tones, with a subtle floral lift.

Palate: Silky and composedsweet oak and vanilla frame agave richness, then widen into dark-fruit nuance (plum), a hint of liquorice, and a gentle coffee-like sweetness. The Bordeaux-cask refinement shows as a glossy, red-fruit polish rather than overt wine character.

Finish: Long, smooth, and luxuriously taperedvanilla and oak linger with soft spice and a faint fruit echo that keeps the close elegant rather than drying.
