Bronze with orange highlights, dark by the standard
of Amontillado. The nutty, dried-fruit richness of the bouquet is more
suggestive of an Oloroso, while I find the bouquet massively evocative of
Sherry cask Speysides, to the extent of capturing the mahogany-and-furniture
polish quality. As is the way of these things, the palate is very dry even
while the bouquet is suggestive of something richer and sweeter. Powerful and
complex, but also somewhat lacking the light touch.
89/100
