85
- Nose
- Tangy, estery. Sour fruit. Hint of nail varnish. Burnt wood. Develops intense fruit: red plum, apricot, sherry notes lusciously underline without overpowering.
- Palate
- Silky, crisp and firm. A beautiful array of Oloroso notes: plum jam, cherries, figs, coffee beans.
- Finish
- Long, lingering. Marzipan and oak.
- Comment
- As appealing and intriguing as a cupboard full of granny's jams for a young pilferer (I was one!). You just can't resist!
85
- Nose
- Light wood oil notes, chocolate/hazelnut, bracken, frangipan, lemon. A hint of rancio. Mature.
- Palate
- Surprisingly soft. Caramel. Light tannic grip, into Terry's Chocolate Orange, dried cherries, firm oak.
- Finish
- Marzipan.
- Comment
- We're looking at big interaction between oak and spirit, but has balance and complexity.
