Tasting Notes

Colour

coffee

air Nose

starts like a very typical old sherry monster, with first quite some coffee, chocolate and wood smoke and then a development on dried fruits and old sweet wine/rancio. Figs, dates, fruitcake, dried bananas... Then we’re back on lit matches, and finally something meaty but not exactly beefy. Something like English brown sauce, cooked onions, ham... And prunes. Fresher than expected in any case, no excessive tannins whatsoever and a smokiness that grows bigger with time. Also cigar box, tobacco. A good surprise

restaurant Palate

a bit heavy now, hugely concentrated (cooked wine) but not exactly cloying. Big notes of spirit-soaked prunes, sultanas, cherry liqueur, liqueur-filled chocolates... Alas, it gets also a little too tannic, drying (strong black tea, apple skin, raw blackcurrants.)

timer Finish

long but thick and a little too drying. Pleasant mintiness, though, and a little icing sugar
