Review and Tasting
Sampled on 10/09/2013
Appearance:
Clear, deep mahogany.
Aroma:
Huge sherry nose with currant and sultana fruit, cacao, freshly roasted coffee beans, flowering shrubbery and faint star anise.
Taste:
Dry, mouth puckeringly so. Burgundy wine-like tannins, coal tar, generous Christmas cake fruit and spice. Water releases even more fruit but be careful not to over water.
Aftertaste:
Spicy fruit cake heavily laced with sherry.
