Nose: Big sherry, meaty sort of, quite some sulfur, but hey i like this! a bit of smoke, and a hefty load of brine, salty sort of, plum jam, apples, ripe figs and some dried fig high in sugar … lovely combination of sweet fruity jams, sugar and salty notes. if you do not like big monstrous sherry, then it’s not for you, however if you like it… you’re in seventh heaven. and so am I
Palate: thick, oily and almost chewable sherry. viscous stuff, it’s almost jam like. great mouth feel, strong. a lot of sugar,and plum jam and fig jam from the nose, with more smoke and much much more brine here. salty, and enticing. some coffee notes as well, and maybe a dash of rum. this is a wonderful palate, very masculine. Sherry colossus but lovely it is.
Finish : sherry, plums smoke and brine.
