Tasting Notes
"The aroma is rich with dates, orange peel, vanilla, and nutty barley. There's some red fruit and milk chocolate in there as well. It's fairly full (medium plus) on the palate and soft. There's a moderate sweetness here accented with a lightly spiced ending. The sherry flavors — dried fruits, walnuts, as well as a touch of oxidation — are present and accounted for on the finish. While not dessert-style, would certainly put it in the nightcap category. Crowd-pleasing and fairly priced. "
