This points firmly toward richness rather than a lighter, delicate style: the nose brings dried fruits, nuts and baking spice, while the palate’s creamy sweetness gives the oak and fruit a softer edge. The gentle spice carries through to a long, sweet finish, so there’s some structure without losing that rounded character. It sounds warmly layered, with enough contrast between fruit, oak and sweetness to keep the richness from feeling one-note.
