Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bright mahogany
air Nose
it makes we realise that there is something about older style sherry of this quality, paired with a c46% bottling strength that is a dynamite combination. Well, actually, it’s nothing to do with dynamite! This is hyper clean, pristinely earthy, salty, full of dark fruits balanced on a knife edge between sweeter qualities and more umami, salty and savoury aspects. Beautiful and even rather simplistic notes of raisins, sultana and salted liquorice. It’s easy to see why people have such strong affections for this bottling
restaurant Palate
this perfect mix of drier earthy tones, mushroom powder, pipe tobacco, old pinot noir, game salami and slightly more playful and sweeter notes of glazed brioche, candied citrus rinds and then rising notes camphor drenched in rancio. I feel the bottling strength brings everything together and makes for a very singular profile, even if, in the process, it perhaps also makes the whole a tad simpler
timer Finish
long, beautifully earthy, full of complex fruit and dark teas, clove, dried mint, aniseed and wintergreen
