Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
brownish amber
air Nose
a wealth of fresh breads, damp earth and various tobaccos, unlit cigars, sultanas and black coffee. Goes on with some crushed walnuts, banana bread, black olives and figs in syrup. The sherry leans elegantly to the dry side and on the whole feels nicely nervous and taut
restaurant Palate
great delivery, richly bready, lots of fresh brown bread, fruit scones, strawberry jam, black pepper, beef stock, dark soy sauce, walnut oil, herbal extracts and spiced plum chutney. Very punchy and surprisingly fresh. There’s a big, earthy, resinous sherry but no overtly drying tannins or sense of over-ageing. Gets increasingly salty, towards tobacco, black olives, salted liquorice and rancio
timer Finish
long and earthy. Full of lightly smoked meats, metal polish, mineral oil, hessian and more walnuts and soot in the aftertaste
