Tasting Notes

Colour

dark gold

air Nose

obvious sherry (and a little rubber) blended with typical honeyed notes. Tar and kumquats, with also whiffs of fermenting hay. Gets meatier after a moment (ham cooked with pineapples), old rum, hints of wood varnish and strawberry jam. Slight roughness but the whole is still most enjoyable

restaurant Palate

thick, coating, quite sherried and very fruity. Fruitcake, fruit eau-de-vie (kirsch, plums), even strawberry liqueur mixed with a little tar/rubber and orange marmalade. Gets rounder with time. Also hints of bubblegum and fructose

timer Finish

long but smoother, compact, with a honeyed fruitiness
