-
Nose:
Rich, syrupy sherry. Toffee, nutty sweetness. Intoxicating plum, musty old sherry, pipe tobacco, juicy fruits like raspberry, fig and plum. Cocoa, thick and rich nose.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. A bit of heat. Then the flavar train pulls into the station. I hate myself for typing that. But it's here. Plums, powerful sherry. Cocoa, nutty syrupy raspberry, currant, creme brulee, coffee and blackberry. Complex and powerful.
-
Finish:
Long, delicious and complex. Pecan pie, syrupy honey, toffee, berries, musty sherry. This tastes like it had time in an OG sherry barrel, not some finished cask. Phenomenal complexity.
-
Overall:
I love this and I'd buy several bottles. Impressively complex, super desserty and the complexity is up there with some of my favorite sherry bombs without rotting your teeth.
