Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
oh my! It’s one of these old-style ‘genuine’ sherry monsters, full of dried fruits, spices and waxes. To the brim! It’s also magnificently mineral and oily, with these whiffs of old-style motor oil and then an endless development on leather polish, very old balsamic vinegar, roasted sesame oil (it’s very obvious here) and God knows what else. Utterly brilliant and totally unmatchable in my opinion. I have no idea as for the strength but it’s very aromatic and frankly big, so I’d say around 50% but the palate will tell us more
restaurant Palate
all right, maybe rather around 45/46%, but what a superb half-dry, half-orangey attack, on something like liquorice infused in orange liqueur. Goes on with the expected notes of prunes and dark chocolate, then touches of polished wood (sandal? Cedar?) and a good deal of pepper, cloves and caraway
timer Finish
very long because it’s so coating and oily. Great notes of herbs, mint, parsley, tarragon… And even touches of strawberry jam
