N: Seems like mostly (or all) refill sherry, more on resinous wood spice and sweet nectar. P: Delicious spice with underlying dessert notes. I was expecting a big sherried 40 year for some reason, but this is perhaps even better. Really tasty stuff. F: Buttery, liquefied caramel candies. Unexpected and delightfully good.
A really balanced and clean nose, sherried and deeply fruity, quite sweet and berry-ish. Pomegranate, plums, resin.
Palate is syrupy and delicious, a tinge of sweetness, follows in line with the nose. Incredibly drinkable and on the milder side. Finish is not nearly as tannic as I'd expect.
Very, very nice stuff that's way too easy to drink.
The nose on this is pretty wondrous. It starts with Welch's grape juice moves to sherry notes with raisins and then on to tropical fruit, maple syrup and vanilla extract. The palate starts with vanilla candy and has soft sherry notes ending with a slight bitterness. Water brings out some woody notes. The finish has sherry, vanilla, creamsicle.
This is highly drinkable, well balanced and lots of fun. It's nicely sherried without being a sherry bomb. If this were more affordable, it would be the type of thing I'd want to drink every day.
