Serge is talking of sulphur, matches etc. but i can not detect that at all. Could it be it has disappeared over time ?
Personally i think this is old skool sherry, very heavy sherry with dark chocolate, blackcurrants, some wood of course, but balanced perfect with the sherry.
Simply lovely, one of the best sherry whisky's in a long time - 92p.
