Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

this is a classic sherry monster but with rather less oomph than the 1961. Chocolate, tapioca (and flour), nutmeg, prunes and cinnamon, with hints of strawberry jam. Very nice, actually. Hints of balsamic vinegar

restaurant Palate

starts maybe a tad dirty/dusty but gets better after a few seconds. Big winey notes (pinot noir – strange) but keeps improving after that, getting more classically sherried (prunes, chocolate, coffee, blackcurrants), with a little mint again. Actually, it gets really superb, provided you give it a little time. Mint and chocolate

timer Finish

long, perfect now (a bit late, eh?) Tea, mint and chocolate. Perfect oakiness
