Now THIS is a sherry beast. The nose is overflowing with dried dark fruit, Demerara sugar, loads of spice, burnt sugar, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is a rich, luscious fruit-fest - dark plum, raisin, dried fig jam, almond brittle, nutmeg, clove, vanilla and burnt sugar. A real humdinger....maybe not my everyday go-to, but damn tasty.

I guess I now have a reason (aka; excuse) to grab another bottle. :-)
Maybe not quite that extreme, but it's definitely not shy! I was tasting the spice notes for a while after.
I haven't had a bottle in a few years (my last was batch 16). Does it still have the huge mouth-coating initial hit, almost as if you'd taken a giant swig of hot Lidocaine?
