Nose
superb old sherry. Rich leathery notes, moss, a bit of silver polish (OBE), glazed chestnuts and slightly musty wood, like an old attic. Sweet herbal potions. Cocoa dusting and a kind of smoked chocolate. Proper Oloroso notes with more than a few drops of Jerez quina. Surprisingly there's also a really fresh, slightly sour fruitiness (raspberry ganache, hints of passion fruits). Floral honey, a little eucalyptus too.
Palate
quite herbal now, with more of that quina profile. Teak oil, chocolate with caramel filling, roasted nuts and mint leaves. A touch of rosemary. Hay. Sweetened espresso. Plenty of tobacco leaves. Light peaty notes, mixed with walnut wine, nutmeg and tea. Also light hints of sour berries and orange peels, but overall it's less fruity than I expected, this is more about the herbal side.
Finish
quite long, with more chocolate, cinnamon and wood. Always this lightly medicinal side and mint too.
