A richly expressive nose of jasmine, lychee, and apricot is layered with notes of honey, lemon tart, and baking biscuits, all laced with a subtle thread of licorice and smoky oak. The palate is dry, powerful, and deeply flavoured, yet it retains poise and elegance. There’s a fine grip and sapid intensity at the core, with ultra-refined texture and superb length. The oak is fully integrated, adding shape and complexity without intrusion. Outstanding concentration and harmony at 14% ABV. Drink now through 2030.
