Nose

Dry oloroso sherry, spiced orange tea and crème brûlée. Water brought out dense sherry trifle with dark fruits and cherries.

Palate

Smoky bacon, char grilled pork rib and heavy caramelised roasting tins. With water, more juicy like rhumptof with plum and rhubarb.

Finish

Warm, earthy and ashy.

Comment

The sherry masks more subtle flavours so it feels a little one-dimensional.
