a superb sherry now, with as much toffee and fruit jam as one can get plus a fantastic meatiness and lots of smoke. Incredibly elegant, bold yet so subtle… So, in no particular order, we have: high-end perfume in the Joy de Patou genre (nothing offending at all), dried oranges, strawberry jam, buttered caramel, oak smoke, smoked ham, old white Burgundy of the best kind, idem red, roasted nuts, old books, hot black truffles, cinchona, orange liqueur, smoked tea, chocolate, espresso coffee… Well, better stop now, I haven’t gotten all day

… imagine the palate just matches the fantastic nose! Maybe just hints of sulphur at the attack but they don’t last for long and then it’s the charge of the light brigade (again!) on all flavours you can get in a great sherry (from oranges to smokiness and from chocolate to balsamic vinegar). Too bad it gets just a tad bitterish and sourish towards the finish, thanks to the very high sherry concentration. The finish itself is extremely long and concentrated as expected, fruity, jammy and now rather herbal (rosemary), getting even very minty- lots of cloves as well… A true sherry monster for true sherryheads, that’s for sure. Too bad it was sometimes slightly sulphury/rubbery, otherwise it would have fetched much more that 91 points . MUSIC - Recommended listening - It's Sunday, we go classical with Bernd Alois Zimmermann 's Musique pour les soupers du Roi Ubu.mp3 (composed in 1968 - played by Rundfunks-Sinfonie-Orchester Köln, conducted by Michael Gielen in 1972). Extremely entertaining, with funny quotes of Lully (of course) but also Mussorgski, Ellington and many others. Great collage!
