Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
a different style of sherry, in fact it really does stand out quite sharply against these more recent examples. This is much more on citrus rinds, damp cellar earth, flints, minerals and tobacco pouches. Many subtle notes such as dried mushroom powder, liquid seasonings, crystallised grapefruit, kumquat and even pomegranate. Quite unusual in some respects. With water: vase water, white truffle, dried mint, eucalyptus resin and stem ginger
restaurant Palate
rather sharp attach on bitter herbs, grasses, walnut oil, cedar wood, pine resin and cough mixtures. Hessian, leaf mulch and bitter lemon with tonic water. A bit of an unusual profile I think, various red fruity notes that make you think of stuff like Tizer and grenadine. With water: very spicy now! Hessian, chilli powder, liquorice root, aniseed, bitter herbal extracts and various stuff like soot, cigar ends and wormwood
timer Finish
long, tannic, bitter, more marmalade, herbal, sooty, saline and with a big, punchy spiciness lingering
