Rich and sweet nose, with lots of dates and raisins. Dried figs and candied fruits. Plum jam. Kind of a liquid walnut cake. Hints of honey-coated almonds. It also has the typical peppery / liquorice sharpness. Tastes quite vibrant and velvety, with a nice elegance despite its high sugar contents. Molasses and treacle. Sticky toffee pudding. Dates and figs again. A slight acidity comes out towards the finish, with some peppery overtones.
