- Nose
- Very gentle and smooth with quite a big dollop of sherry influence. A touch of oak, soft peaches, nectarines and apricots. Loads of flavour. Not too complex, but very good!
- Palate
- It almost tastes like liqueur, with a gentleness like this. Quite a bit of honey and lots of yellow fruit. Some sweet cereal and those white-yellowish Caramac bars. Some cinnamon and maybe a slight hint of cloves.
- Finish
- The finish is very simple again with just a huge amount of tropical yellow fruit. Quite short. If you take a big sip you get some more spices like pepper and a bit more wood too. Otherwise it's just very, very gentle overall. A very nice blend with lots of sherry influence.
