Sample 10/12 of the May tasting set
Initial Nose: Sherry notes come forward, spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, damp earth, fruit notes of cherries, guava, purple grapes, red apples, varnish, leather... wow a lot going on
Nosing after time: Fruitiness becomes more prominent with mangosteens and earthiness goes to the background
Palate: Oil, guava, cherry wood, varnish, rambutans, mangosteens, nutmeg, red chilis, slight spices, really nice and complex
Finish: Long and slightly drying with peaches, raisins, mangosteens, rich violets texture that becomes creamy
Wow as a sherry lover this is an amazing dram. So many flavours and such wonderful sherry notes to appreciate. Complex and flavourful with fruits and earthy sherry notes that compliment. The violet notes are a wonderful touch. Overall delicious.
