- Nose
- Intense deep sherry, old leather, pipe tobacco, sundried grapes and figs, earthy soil, chicory/coffee mix, plasticine, a little sulfur, loads of dates, sour cherries & Extravecchio Balsamic. Hints of vanilla, raspberry compote and roses.
- Palate
- Heavy, meaty, coffee, tobacco, maggi sauce, slight metallic twang. Raisins, figs, maraschino cherry, clove, sticky toffee pudding, chestnut honey, cocoa. Sherry oak explosion turning to fruity Turkish delight, gentle citrus and dry spiciness.
- Finish
- Lingers forever with coffee, dark chocolate, citrus peel, walnut & return of balsamic-like notes and dunnage/old basement edge to the oak. Strong sherry notes, elegantly rounded with a pleasant, lingering spiciness.
