Nose
I think I get a clear sherry influence, with some added 'greenness', like yesterday's Glen Elgin. With this that develops slightly different with a scent not unlike cooked vegetables. That's a form of sulphur, if you care. It becomes more sweet after a couple of minutes with slightly spicy sherry. Spiced sponge cake.
Palate
The palate is light but sweet and hot, with a flavor like manzanilla sherry (but what do I know). There's oak and furniture polish. Dried plums and dried apricots, syrupy. But also with a hint of vanilla cream.
Finish
The finish becomes even sweeter and has flavors that remind me of Schwarzwalder Kirsch (Black Forest Cake). The German cake with black cherries. It's a long finish.
