- Nose
- Assertive sherry. Rich chocolate. Walnut peel. Dates. Raisins. Prunes. Overcooked plum jam. Burnt applewood. Bittersweet apples.
- Palate
- Sweet at start then astringent wood raids tastebuds, sweeping out the dried fruit sweetness.
- Finish
- Dry, grippy, bitter. A touch of sweetness coming back.
- Comment
- A PX sherry first fill? Fine if you like oak infusion. Clings on your palate for ages. Too oaky to be OK.
65
- Nose
- Very deep in colour and aroma. Big, resinous and perfumed: fig jam, autumn bonfire, late-blooming roses, PX, musky. Leather.
- Palate
- Dull and over-wooded. High tannins and over-stewed tea. A tale of two halves. Inhale only.
- Finish
- Bitter bitter bitter. Mouth drying.
- Comment
- Old and over the hill.
