Tasting Notes
"The aroma shows some barrel spices, a bit of rich malt and dark berry fruit on the nose along with a touch of bittersweet chocolate. It's slightly chewy on the palate with a red fruit forward flavor. The oloroso sherry comes through a bit at the finish with some oxidation notes. It's moderately rich and has just enough sweetness to serve as a good daily nightcap. "
