Tasting Notes

Colour

deep orangey amber

air Nose

all manner of dark fruits soaked in very old Fins Bois cognac. Plus old cigar humidors. Plus prune eau de vie and dark chocolate gâteaux. In some ways rather simple, but also totally perfect in this very direct and vibrant expression of superb old style sherry. With water: drier, more mentholated, a few medicinal herbs, strong black tea and walnut wine

restaurant Palate

perfectly bitter dark chocolate flecked with sea salt and chilli. Cloves, aniseed, hardwood spices and resins, then sultanas and raisins. The whole is extremely classical with yet more of these mulchy earthy vibes and plentiful rancio. With water: wonderful flavours of aged plum wine, soy sauce and salted almonds coming through now - the sherry profile feels like it is becoming more complex rather than, say, more tannic, which often happens

timer Finish

medium, lightly sappy, warming soft spices, figs, sultanas and more boozy prunes in the aftertaste along with some nicely fruity black coffee
