Tasting Notes
Colour
bright amber
air Nose
hohoho! As a certain Mr S would say (Santa, not Serge!), that is, this is pure Christmas juice! A wonderfully dense, gooey and sticky sweet old style sherry aroma. Riddled with prunes, old Armagnac, cigar humidor and sweet raisins. A sense of botrytis and aged Sauternes about it as well. You may add several types of honey, candied fruits and a touch of hessian
restaurant Palate
excellent, all on very high quality chocolate torte, black forest gateaux, wormwood, slightly sappy tannins and praline. Also quite a few sticky dark fruit preserves infused with wood spices such as clove and cinnamon. I find it excellent, although probably just lacking a little power
timer Finish
good length and on milk chocolate, rancio and treacle sponge
