Nose - Syrupy raisins/prunes/dates, light sweet almonds, dark toffee, mulled red wine, hints of chocolate covered cherries.
Taste - Sweet ginger/white pepper spice, syrupy dark but refreshing dark dried stone fruits, dark toffee, lightly tannic, fresh bing cherries.
Finish - Long lasting dark fruity sweet, dark toffee, ginger spice, chocolate sweet, fresh bing cherries.
Score - 95/100
Final Thoughts - This is quite spectacular and what I imagine a well done sherried dram should be. Very nicely balanced, no off-putting notes. Nice fruity spice but shows its age very well. Amazing sherry influence but not overly sweet (this wouldn't be an everyday dram for sure) but is more on the desserty side of things.

For a 25 yr old, $300 isn’t too bad. Seems worth it.
