:
A sherry bomb done to perfection. Most impressively, this never becomes drying and it retains enough complexity to stay interesting.
Nose
Soft and attractive, with a good chunk of dark chocolate, as well as rose petals, sweet oranges and cherry syrup. Heavily sherried—duh!—but not overpowering, which is an impressive balancing act. Subtle notes of shoe polish, leather and varnish.
Taste
The subtle spices (cinnamon, cloves) combine well the cocoa and notes of tobacco leaves. Syrupy and rich, with maraschino cherries and dried figs, as well as a hint of cappuccino.
Finish
Lingering spices and dark chocolate.
