Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
you do indeed get a lovely, easy and rather old school sherry profile. Here the lower ABV probably helps a little as it's allowing all these golden sultanas, soft dark fruits and quince to rise to the surface. Also rather a lot of honey and a few suggestions of flower nectars. Simple and very attractive
restaurant Palate
funny, this tastes like a much older OB bottling from around the mid-70s that would display quite a bit of OBE (old bottle effect), so there's these dusty, metallic and slightly cardboardy impressions already - would something from 2005 already begin to show these characteristics? What a terrifying thought! Anyway, it's nice enough, but it feels a tad flat and here you really see how a few degrees more alcohol would come to the rescue
timer Finish
short, on soft teas, some mead, a little camphor and breakfast cereals
