Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

chocolate, raisins and prunes galore at first nosing, then more typical honey and ripe fruits. Also many notes that sometimes come with first fill sherry, such as leather, coffee, fig liqueur and cocoa, then a little menthol. Excellent. Big rancio after a while, dried mushrooms, leather… With water: more leather, walnut stain and hints of fresh almonds

restaurant Palate

rich, creamy, very sherried but not ‘monstrous’. Cassis jelly, raspberry liqueur, old Armagnac, toffee, becoming just a tad grapey. With water: more spices, the whole getting drier. Bitter chocolate, coffee beans and liquorice

timer Finish

long, with some fresh fruits (but don’t we get rhubarb?) and once again these faint notes of grape skin or even pips
