Tasting Notes

Colour

Amber

air Nose

A beautifully leafy and earthy old style sherry. Lots of chocolate, crushed nuts, walnut oil, cereals, sultanas and dates. A little graphite, some soot and notes of darjeeling tea with lemon peel in. With time these rather mushroomy tertiary aspects arise along with more dried dark fruits and berries

restaurant Palate

Good! It’s surprisingly punchy, emphatic and powerful on the palate. Beautifully nervous sherry wrapped around lots of earth, walnut wine, dark chocolate, a little natural tar resin, aged cognac and a few fresh green fruits such as cider apple and ripe damsons. Goes on with a few dried cranberries, some wood ash and a few sprigs of dried thyme

timer Finish

Long, elegantly earthy and full of balsamic, rancio and mint tea
