I’m a big fan of the way bitterness is used to complement the sherried notes on show here. It stops it being sickly and keeps it very tasty.

Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: Gorgeous Christmas pudding notes, with lashings of sherry, raisins, orris, almonds and cinnamon spice.

Palate: Right back to the festive notes, but now the addition of an orange and almond polenta cake, gratings of milk chocolate and sherry-filled raisins.

Finish: The chocolatey note lingers on the finish, becoming bitter and rich with time.

Comment: I’m a big fan of the way bitterness is used to complement the sherried notes on show here. It stops it being sickly and keeps it very tasty.

Score: 8.5

Taster

Nose: Sweet balsamic poured over very ripe strawberries. Camphorwood and dried rose. Heather honey and caramel sponge cake. Pistachio ice cream and coffee-infused fudge. Condensed milk and vanilla essence.

Palate: Full. Black forest gateau, milk chocolate Florentines, glace cherry and candied orange. A pre-light draw on a Nicaraguan cigar. Subtle lemon curd and marmalade notes.

Finish: Long. A medley of sweet chocolate and citrus oils.

Comment: Complex. Highly enjoyable.

Score: 8.6
