Description
Flashes of red fruits before it grows darker, on figs, vanilla and butter toffee, quickly joined by spicy notes and meaty hints in the background. Almonds and hazelnuts. Orange peel. Also a light hint of iodine. Cocoa nibs. Perhaps not the most fragrant Oloroso, there’s a focus on buttery / nutty notes which makes it seem a little capped somehow.
Dry and concentrated, with quite an astringent power and a nice peppery heat but also rounder notes to balance it. Some spirity traces as well. Tobacco leaves, hazelnuts and walnuts. Dates, toffee and just a touch of minerals (due to its first years under flor, perhaps). Medium acidity as well. Traces of mushroom stock. The long ageing also brings a hint of oak. Lots of toasty flavours, burnt caramel and a savoury richness. Very long finish
