Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

much, much less fruity than the ’58.2’, much drier, much more on walnut husk and Corinthian raisins as well as coffee and bitter chocolate. Only small touches of figs in the background. With water: became much meatier. Also leather grease…

restaurant Palate

yeah, now I remember why I did not like this one too much. It’s got some weirdly flinty and even metallic notes that do not go so well with the sherry in my book, but it’s probably me. With water: indeed. This metallic effect is a tad strange (silver fork effect). Having said that, the rest is all right

timer Finish

long, even more metallic
