Nose
sherry in overdrive. Starting on matchsticks and barbecued meat, quickly overpowered by lots of dried fruits (figs, apricots) and coated with honey. Some cinnamon and dark chocolate. Hints of pipe tobacco and delicate whiffs of roasted nuts. Slightly mentholated. Hints of dill. Old leather! There's a dusty side to it, but that's just great, it adds to the complexity. The sherry is all over the place, but it's absolutely high-class.
Palate
quite strong without water of course. Very rich and fruity. Big notes of coffee and cherries. With water: roasted nuts, wonderful chocolate. Dry walnuts, plum jam again. Delicate hints of mint.
Finish
long, slightly drying, on smoked almonds and still that beautiful sherried chocolate.
