Member Ratings and Notes

Andy

Nose: Red hots and hot wax.

Palate: Runs a bit hot, add water. Tastes strong without specifically tasting like anything (tastes like strong???) It's obviously sherry, but not a bit overpowering (sherrywise). Great mouthfeel, though.

RETASTE 7/18/11

p: bitter sherry leaning toward fresh tree twigs. B/B+

Fuji

Overly sweet sherry with wax on the nose. There was a bitter sweet taste on the palate and finish. This would have been way too sweet had there not been any bitter notes to balance things out.

Mike

N: Burnt caramel molasses and chocolate cherries.

P: Not as big as the nose would indicate. Little bitter. Sweeter on finish. Spice. Malmsey.

F: Lingers. Quite a nice complexity develops.
