Tasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
wah! Toffee and coffee, coffee and toffee. And plum jam, and chocolate. Not much else so far but the combo is perfect. Oh, and a lot of very, very old balsamic vinegar. And flints. With water: yah! Exceptional notes of precious leather, pipe tobacco, molasses, ‘brand new snickers’ (rubber), jamon iberico (right, any high-end cured ham)… Fantastic sherry. Some may think it’s a tad too ‘sulphury’, I think it isn’t
restaurant Palate
wow! Rich, punchy, meaty, chocolaty, ‘plummy’, flinty, tarry, smoky… Heavily concentrated, the sherry is perfect. Also big notes of Seville oranges and a heaviness that hints at some dark rums, but without any cloying notes. Elegantly Demerara-ish, I’d say (will you cut the crap one day, S.?) With water: fabulously resinous, putty-ish, cinchona-ish fruitiness. A long forgotten bottle of herbs liqueur. Old Armagnac. Praline
timer Finish
extremely long and rich but clean, getting appropriately drier in the aftertaste (no ‘heavy tongue effect’)
