Tasting note
An exquisite melange of dried fruits, roasted nuts, honey, toffee, mocha and truffly forest floor notes. And that's just the bouquet! On the palate it's medium sweet with clove, walnut oil, espresso, raisins and orange zest. Here's a lovely sipper of immense length and subtlety to enjoy by the fire as you welcome in the days of fall and winter. And it'll keep, with the cork back in, for weeks. Serve all by itself or with cheese, fruit and nuts. Score - 94. (Frank Baldock, winexpress.ca, Fall 2015)
The wine displays an aromatic, slightly caramel nutty smell and is full flavoured and medium sweet on the palate.
This oloroso, or “scented,” sherry is imbued with great amber colour and nutty nuances from its unique oxidative aging winemaking process. Whiffs of caramel and fig Newton are complemented by a languid walnut-skin finish in this medium-dry fortified.
