Clear light red/brown. Nutty, salty,herbal oxidized sherry nose but the flavours are very fresh, a bit ripe even, plums, apricot and brittle.. The finish was dry and pleasant.

Brilliant bouquet of dates, figs, oranges, raisins and dried apricots; the palate starts off quite sweet showing the PX, but then the saltiness takes over on the midpalate through the extensive finish. Beautiful nuttiness on the aftertaste. Great balance and complexity. A bit like a slightly sweeter version of the Del Duque. Really fantastic pairing with all kinds of cheese. 17.5/20.

Rich amber, nearly dark brownish, and still a star brightness. Pronounced dark caramel, toast, and vanilla aromas. Has a slight residual sweetness from the PX blended in, and a very dense caramelised feel, even nearly burnt, as well as buttery, raisiny flavours, and a backfeel of fungals. Extremely high alcohol burn, even nearly unbalanced. Long finish, mainly of the hot caramel flavours

Dark olive/amber. Thick and viscous. Nose and palate pretty much the same. Great complexity. Espresso, caramel, dates, figs, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and a touch of wood. Off dry due some PX mixed in. Impressive length. Slightly drying/woody finish. Outstanding!
