Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

not much sherry, rather a lot of vanilla and tankerloads of caramel and light toffee in this one. Frankly, it smells almost like a Werther’s Original bonbon, or maybe caramel and vanilla flavoured Chupa Chups lollipops. Gets a tad smokier after that. Whisky for kids? Rather spectacular I must say despite a little sulphur

restaurant Palate

starts a little prickly but assertive, candied, medium sherried, with quite some strawberry jam and even a little bubblegum. For kids indeed, in spite of some winey notes that linger in the background. Goes on with more caramel and notes of prunes as well as a pleasant spiciness (cloves and cinnamon, mulled wine)

timer Finish

long but more caramelly again
