Maker's tasting description
Nose	Aroma of rich dried fruits—raisins, dark chocolate and cherry—melds with vibrant cranberry and a hint of toasty oak. Underlying notes of baked nuts add a gentle, nutty dryness that entices you in.
Palate	Opens with a creamy richness, delivering layers of smooth honey and soft vanilla. Subtle warming spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—emerge, balancing the sweetness and echoing the port-wine influence.
Serving suggestion	Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped or Glencairn glass at room temperature to fully appreciate its complexity. For a softer expression, add a few drops of spring water or pour over a single large ice cube to unlock deeper fruit and spice notes.

Treat these as inconsistent listing details rather than settled specifications. The description also mentions a gift box, but the package contents supplied here do not confirm one. Check the selected listing if colour, awards or gift presentation matter.
