87- Nose
- The skins of Seville oranges. The apricot note of Oloroso sherry.
- Palate
- Beautifully combined mellow flavours: nutty, sweet, juicy sherry, very orangey fruitiness, heather, cinnamon. Very spicy.
- Finish
- Long, tingling. Very warming.
- Comment
- Delicious.
Doug McIvor
85- Nose
- Entrancing, lightly honeyed, sweet and gentle.
- Palate
- Full, succulent and buttery, whafts of sherry, nuttiness and wavering spice.
- Finish
- Long and warming, cinnamon prickles through the lingering sweet sherry.
- Comment
- Some of the 10 years brandyish elements subdued to give a rounded gentle being.
