Nose
maybe not the freshest nose at first (sticky toffee with a meaty twist), but this kind of old bottles deserve a bit of airing. Not a classic sherry nose in any case, it's more on aromatic herbs and juicy fresh fruits than on the typical raisins or spices. Lemon verbena, lime leaves and mint. Oranges and pineapples, with a pleasant sourness.
Palate
much sweeter, with quite some vanilla and a list of fruity notes (dried apricots, tangerine). Becomes considerably drier, on ginger, dark chocolate and cardamom. Some resinous notes.
Finish
malty and spicy, rather short.
