Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
orangey amber. (I know my colour descriptions are the height of lame)
air Nose
buttery fudge, chocolate orange, pocked-warmed toffee chews, Werther’s Originals, Dundee cake, glace cherries, buttermints, strawberry candy floss and liquorice. Basically and old fashioned confectionary. With a little time the sugar eventually boils off and you get to things like moss, ferns, sage, damp earth, jasmine and rather clear notes of verbena and wormwood. Really excellent! With water: still hugely fudgey with chocolate eclair, strawberry jam, marzipan and hessian
restaurant Palate
big hearty sherry! Lots of chewy toffee, dark fruits, walnut wine, camphor, cough medicines, old leathery sherry notes, salted caramel and rancio. Hints of white balsamico, black truffle, old leather, toasted pecans, Nutella and some green Chartreuse. With water: more nutty - walnuts again and brazil nuts to be precise - and mint leaf, tea tree oil and lemon peel. Big, emphatic but not overpowering sherry remains throughout
timer Finish
long, rather sooty and leathery with bitter cocoa, clean rubber and maraschino
