Taster

Nose: Maple syrup.

Palate: Smooth, nutty, rich.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Amber/copper. Slick, slippery nose: caramel, Gonzalez-Byass Alfonso sherry, wholemeal bread, fruit cake.

Palate: Ultra-soft like buttered walnut bread and a dry, nutty, mid-palate.

Finish: Drying but soft.

Comment: Whisky-flavoured sherry. Bit too sickly sweet for me. Celine Dion.

Score: 7.3
