Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber – mahogany
air Nose
wow, this is big bold sherry indeed! Very rich, very powerful, exuberant and invading, starting right on coffee with a few drops of schnapps, thick rich orange liqueur and old sherry (matusalem oloroso). Then we have a beautiful dryness, cocoa, fir wood smoke and finally more meaty aromas (the usual game, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and oxtail). A perfect dry sherry monster, almost Olympic. And no sulphur, no varnish and no nail polish
restaurant Palate
ah, here’s the ‘woody cavalry’. Starts on quite some bitterish wood, cooked wine, strawberry jam (but it isn’t very sweet), developing on over-infused tea and fruit spirit (tutti frutti)… The bitterness gets more bearable after a moment, though, but the whole remains quite drying and ‘kirschy’
timer Finish
very long but still quite drying, like a mixture of very strong tea and heavily reduced wine sauce. Phew! But the nose was really superb, hence my 85 points . Glen Grant 1970/2007 (53%, Highlander Inn Hotel, cask #861, 153 bottles)
