Member Ratings and Notes
Fuji
 
Definitely sherried but its kind of bland and isnt very exciting.
Ries
 

n: Light vanilla cherry, cocoa powder, red fruit roll-ups, and rhubarb jam. Some oak, new jacket leather, and toffee.

 

t: Malt and a deeper antique sherry influence with caramel wafers and buttermilk biscuit dough. Dry oak and dusty leather that fades quickly. Finishes quick with cherry roll-ups, dried tobacco leaf and newsprint. Surprised at the thin aspect in the mouthfeel. Mostly oaky sherry spirit. Very dry with a mostly woody bourbon barrel influence, but doesn't get deep and finishes very one note.  [C+/B-]

n:  Weak.  Faint Coffee

 

p:  Tangy.  White pepper and lemon.  Decent but lacking complexity.
