Initially the nose shows a very caressing wax and wood soul, accompanied by sour cherry and pear. Clear presence of malt, together with leather, caramel and a touch of orange. A sweet profile diluted by a slightly rough side.
In the mouth it is warm and enveloping, fruity (red fruits, peach, pear) and waxy, with still a strong presence of malt and wood. Orange zest, a light pinch of spices (cardamom, cinnamon), pistachios, all very harmonious and balanced.
Pistachio, malt, wood and orange finish, which remains to fill the palate for a long time.
Well balanced and harmonious flavors and aromas, where the bursting sweetness of the sherry is tamed by less accommodating tones without screeching and without clamor, succeeding where many have failed.
