Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany/coffee
air Nose
one of the olorosoest noses I’ve ever come across but what’s quite incredible is that it’s not exactly cloying, or aggressive, or too jammy. Having said that there are truckloads of prunes, black raisins and chocolate, too the point where not much else manages to come through. Maybe hints of old pinot noir or rather Bourgogne? Cherry liqueur? With water: black raisins all over the place, then more parsley and lovage, as often. ‘Maggi’
restaurant Palate
heavy and totally sherry-infused but once again, it’s no fatty-lumpy sherried malt whisky. Having said that, the dose of chocolate is massive. It’s also got this old-Armagnac side that’s sometimes to be found in old sherry monsters in my experience. With water: yeah, it’s what happens quite often with sherry monsters, water makes the oak come out more, which makes the whole a notch too drying and grapey. Grape seed
timer Finish
this is much better again, with more oranges, maybe star anise, tobacco…
