Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
no cork! Rather a flinty sherry, all on oranges and touches of artichokes (akin to sulphur but it's nice in this context in my opinion). Becomes more and more complex after a few seconds, with more leather and tobacco, soy sauce, balsamico (a lot), cured ham and just wee whiffs of old wine cellar. Very nice development. With water: again, more of the same. Gamey cigar (a brand? your call.)
restaurant Palate
once again, the sherry is heavy but it's a very fruity one, close to a wine's fruitiness. I mean oranges, blackcurrants, pineapples, grapefruits… In the background, quite some spices again. Cloves, cinnamon, mulled wine… With water: bags of jellybeans and litres of cranberry and pomegranate juices. Fun!
timer Finish
gets a tad dry and cinnamony, with a little green oak in the aftertaste
