Friday, February 15, 2008 - chicago crew spanish night (Habana Libre, Chicagol IL): nose: smacks you back with a lot pheynl alcohol but also has some almonds and hazelnut components behind it
taste: the pheynl alcohol is a bit too much on the flavor for me, but it then does lean into really nice and pleasant notes of almonds, hazelnuts, and cashew characteristics
overall: has a really long almond finish which saves the wine for me. It's best on the back end and changed my opinion of it overall. Overall though I've yet to be impressed much by sherry, and this didn't impress me much either
