Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold—not ‘coffee’ this time
air Nose
magnificent, though less dominated by sherry, making it fresher, almost slightly maritime (seaweed, brine), before leaning more towards orange marmalade and cherry liqueur. A faintly earthy touch is quite superb, followed by tobacco and a hint of new leather. Pistachio nougat. With water: almost like an old cognac now, with honey and wonderfully ripe, juicy vineyard peaches
restaurant Palate
the sherry comes through more strongly, as do the spices, making it feel slightly – but beautifully - rustic at this stage despite wonderful citrus and honey notes. Quite a bit of peppermint emerges later. With water: and there it is, tamed and gentle as a lamb, with sultanas, plenty of candied fruits, and a lovely cup of tea with dark chocolate
timer Finish
fairly long and spicier, with occasional faint herbal touches. Liquorice with mint lingers in the aftertaste
