Tasting Notes by chrisrbarrett

Colour is mahogany. It's really pretty, Nosing, it's extremely rich sherry aromas come to the fore. Sweet and toffee flavoured to start, moving to black licorice on the finish. Neil swears there is a touch of Mauby Fizz.

This is a sensational drop. Bit expensive here in Australia so probably won't have the pleasure of picking up a bottle any time soon.

As you say though, sherry is the major theme here! I remember getting leather, wood polish, Christmas cake, cherries, all sorts of candied fruits and sweet toffee notes on the nose and the palette sure delivers what the nose promises. I didn't get any licorice though..
