88 / 100
This batch offers a beautifully textured experience where the Pedro Ximenez influence feels integrated rather than overwhelming. The transition from the rich, jammy nose to the velvet-like palate of dark chocolate and dried fruit is quite graceful, providing a sensory depth that lingers pleasantly with a touch of polished oak.
