88 / 100
Sweet fruit and toffee set a clear direction here, with golden sultanas, ripe dates and berry compote on the nose leading into raisins, citrus zest and ginger on the palate. The long finish, described as rich with sweet oak spices, gives the sweeter fruit a persistent oak-and-spice close. That lingering finish is the main appeal for me, though the notes keep the overall impression firmly on the sweet side.
