Nose - light note of honey, something else I can't put my finger on but is like sweet and charred, straw? Taste - stone fruit, heavy on the sherry, slight oakyness Finish - bursts into the palate with sherry and stone fruit. Leaves a woody feeling on the tongue which is off-putting, improves as the bottle went on Score - 3.5 took to about the 2/3 point in the bottle for this to really open up for me Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
