Gal Granov (90)

Nose : lovely wood notes with sweet smoky earthy aromas, sherry and sweet marinade, tamarind and ripe oranges. Some wood varnish. Excellent and classy.
Palate : pepper and oak, bitter sweet interplay between the oak and sweet rum soaked cherries, smoke and dry Oloroso sherry. A hint of grapefruit pith and licorice then more pepper and wine.
Finish : dry, with wood, sherry and more of that orange marmalade.
This, happily, is still a class act. It’s complex, fun to drink, has enough old wood cask notes, which as you know I love, and the sherry is really well integrated, with a nice fruity note, as well as the ripe cherries. Still a 90 in my book. Go and find yourself a bottle.This is how old blends SHOULD be.
