Tasting Notes

Colour

brown amber

air Nose

time-warp effect, we're in 1990. The sherry's pretty sublime, these notes of metal polish, old coins, old copper kettle and all that are fantastic, these tobaccos are lovable (old plain Dunhill's, shall we say) and so are these bouillons full of marrow, mushrooms, lardo di Colonnata, leek, and perhaps even garlic. A tiny touch. Beyond that, we'll find the usual raisins, figs, dates, plum pudding and fruitcake. Brilliant

restaurant Palate

I don't know why, this reminds me of the old 30 'blue label and blue box', but this M is a little better. Tobacco and liquorice, earl grey, Jaffa cake, orange blossom water, oriental pastries, a thin slice of kougelhopf, while we cannot not mention also panettone this time again. Certainly also fortified mustos, pineau and such, and old rancio, Rivesaltes, old sweet grenache, Maury… Anyway, you see what I mean

timer Finish

medium, on ultra-classic 'sweet' sherry, a little 'cream' perhaps. Cappuccino and marmalade in the aftertaste
