- Nose: an intense and fruity start - ripe raspberries and dark cherries first greet the nose, followed by a deep sweetness reminiscent of plum compote and red grape juice - accompanied by aromas of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and fine oak spice - the influence of the Ruby Port is clearly noticeable and elegantly integrated
- Palate: powerful and full-bodied - notes of blackberry jelly, raisins, and Black Forest cherry, combined with spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint of clove - the texture is dense and oily, carried by dark fruit, toasted wood, and a hint of pipe tobacco
- Finish: long-lasting, warming, and spicy - the finish is dominated by port-influenced sweetness, dry oak, and a hint of dark berries. Delicate dark chocolate and a hint of leather accompany the finish until the final impression
