90 / 100
This reads as firmly rich rather than light: sweet sherry and dark fruit lead into an intensely sweet Pedro Ximénez character, with integrated oak alongside. The long, warming, richly sherried finish suggests that richness carries through rather than easing away. The concentrated cask-strength aromas reinforce that impression, while the oak gives the palate another documented element beside the sweetness and fruit. For a preference for fuller, sherry-led character, that sounds appealing; it doesn’t point toward a delicate style.
