Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
so old style it makes you chuckle! Seriously, this is like muton stew, old bouillon broth, very old burgundy, roast pheasant, natural tar liqueur, resinous fir woods and all manner of oils: motor, lamp, olive - you name it! Also hugely camphory, full of herbal liqueur notes, dried out old honeys going towards beeswax and cask aged mead. Amazing! With water: stunningly herbal and mentholated, really going towards complex old herbal tea, medicinal properties, ointments, boot polish, tiny inclusions of peat, tar, eucalyptus and more of these wonderful umami broths
restaurant Palate
astonishingly powerful, almost brutal but at the same time brilliant! Ruggedly earthy, extremely salty, and more dominated by classical, bone dry old sherry notes. Think big dry old oloroso full of rancio! Some cedar wood boxes full of aged cigars and reams of hessian. We should also mention the texture as well, which is so huge you could stand an Elephant on stilts in the glass! With water: magnificent and just more of everything, same texture but broader, more emphatic herbal, waxy, gamey, earthy and honeyed characteristics. More of these salty, rugged old VORS sherry vibes and some stunning tertiary earthy notes
timer Finish
very long, elegantly drying, salty, earthy and showing more classical sherry cask influence once again
