Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Bronze
air Nose
This is indeed some old school oloroso sherry cask. All dates, earth, tobacco, fig compote and these rather lovely mingling notes of fresh breads and older balsamico. Some sticky raisins and rather meaty / leathery edge emerging. Thankfully the Bunna character remains pretty well intact, something not too surprising given how well Bunna and sherry tend to meld together. Goes on with some ripe cherries, a little fig chutney and a little walnut liqueur
restaurant Palate
Resinous, earthy and clean. With a deep and well integrated sherry character. Some rancio and a little frying bacon which lends a crisp saline note. Then veers back towards sweetness with more dark fruits and some wood spice and light tannic aspects. Some milk chocolate, a bit of eucalyptus and mint and some fresh filter coffee as well
timer Finish
Long and full of earthy and spicy dryness. Some notes of aged pinot noir and a camphory side as well. Quite lovely
