On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, and velvety, delivering a powerful initial attack balanced by a buttery, glyceric texture. Rich flavours of dark plums, jam, tobacco, toasted walnuts, hazelnuts, and leather are brightened by a lively flash of citrus, leading to subtle nuances of smoke, baked bread, and a delicately salty edge on the long, lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe NV Antique Oloroso is open and expressive in the nose, with a predominant note of hazelnuts and varnished wood, a sweet touch of spices, brandy filled chocolates and orange rind.
