Nose
Very rich sherry and very deep aroma wise. Cocoa, coffee, milk chocolate, plump dark raisins and yes some wood is present mixing with the sherry. Taking the lid off my nosing glass and with air you get burnt orange, jaffa cake, hints of menthol, faint coal tar soap. With a few more minutes in the glass, some fig and hints of prune juice.
Palate
Fizzy at first with a very rich chocolate and caramel note, what fruit there is that the nose hinted at is overpowered by the sherry & wood. The fruit is there is stewed plum, blackberry and a little fig and raspberry with damson. The wood is there but not as invasive as I was expecting as the fruit seems to grow and thankfully checks it. The depth of profile is not massive but after a few more minutes a subtle spice note is there.
Finish
Mellow and soothing, not too long but very pleasant. With a few small drops of water the finish is also a little sweeter.
