There’s an appealing shift from grassy light green fruit and dried-fruit depth to a richer palate where orchard fruit meets heavier sherry notes. The finish sounds especially distinctive: spice builds alongside a puff of wood smoke and meaty Oloroso character. It leans into a weightier, sherry-led style, but the movement from lighter fruit to deeper notes gives it a satisfying sense of contrast.
