Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
very nice! Ultra-clean yet big sherry, all on raisins, chocolate and dried fruits. Touches of ham and balsamico as well but very little. The whole is very straight. With water: more and more raisins but it’s not grapey at all. Very nice rounded nose. After a while: a little balsamico
restaurant Palate
hyper-rich, thick, oily. You almost need a spoon to get it out of your glass. Almost. Many spices to the front, pepper, nutmeg… Also bitter chocolate, prunes, strawberry jam… It’s all clean and very straight, getting sweeter and sweeter after the attack. With water: it’s rather less sweet and fruity than the Exclusive Malt now, but it’s still very good. Nice touches of cumin and other spices (poppy seeds?)
timer Finish
long, with a faint chalkiness
