Tasting Notes
"Sherry heads take a deep inhale for a heftily sherried nose, with dried red fruits and waxy honey alongside walnuts, orange zest, and furniture polish. The palate is tart, with tannic oak, sour cherries, citrus pith, spearmint, and bitter baker's chocolate. The finish is lengthy, but at times sharp, with lemon rinds and seeds, as well as cranberries, caramel, toasted rice puffs, white pepper, and raisins."
