Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
this is a less muscle-bound sherry than the Archangel’s, more elegant, fruitier, and perhaps even more complex. Beautiful notes of quince, mirabelle plums, figs, damp earth, roots, bergamot and liquorice. A true little jewel, this Glenlivet for Tiffany’s (now that’s clever, S.) and the rooty character is just lovely. With water: encaustic wax, beehive, old leather and aged orange liqueurs
restaurant Palate
even more roots, especially carrots, gentian, even celeriac, followed by the usual dried fruits, figs up front, then dates, candied citrus peels and prunes. With water: would you believe me if I told you certain elements remind me of the 1924 Harvey’s bottling? Perhaps it’s that very faint touch of mint sauce. Truly beautiful
timer Finish
long, creamy, honeyed, lightly salty, ending on citrus zest
