Tasting Notes

This was a really wonderful nose, full of robust aromas of polished leather, pipe tobacco, camphor and precious hardwoods full of resins. We also got sultanas, raisins, prunes and dark, boozy fruit cake. A great sherry profile, we all agreed. With water it evolved beautifully, revealing chen pi orange peels, five spice, tangerines and highly resinous and herbal complexities. When neat, the palate showed immediate, superb sherry influence. It was rich and balanced, with old-style weight and earthy depth. We noted thick, syrupy dark fruit flavours, balsamic, rancio and walnut liqueur with natural tar resin. Water made everything perfect, as dark fruit intensity harmonised with nuts, cocoa, dark chocolate, tobacco and some ancient Fins Bois cognac. Lush and wonderful stuff!
