Tasting Notes
Someone was making fudge in a hot kitchen. There was also orange toffee bonbons, ripe kumquat, dried flowers and cantaloupe melon. Beyond that the panel also noted the fizz of Lambrusco, black pepper and a saline tang of oloroso. With water out came ice cream wafers, strawberries with balsamic drizzle, sherry vinegar, serrano ham and honey roast peanuts. The palate was initial silky and inviting. Notes of cloudy apple juice, bitter marmalade and white miso. The spice builds steadily along with notes of dark chocolate. With water we found green ginger wine, honey nut cereal, molten marshmallow and mango chutney. Matured for 8 years in a bourbon hogshead before transfer to a 1st fill oloroso hogshead.
