Alison Buchanan: Limpid olive-shot mahogany. Pepper and citrus notes dominate the nose. There is an astringent character, hints of olives and stewed orchard fruit on the nose, allied to earthy notes, cedar, and tobacco. The palate presents more refreshment than is suggested on the nose, with bright, alluring fruit, a creamed texture, and caramel sweetness—straightforward and accessible. 16.5

Jesús Barquín: Light to medium chestnut. Delicate, not very old or sweet, but well achieved, with a long finish, where raisins show themselves more clearly than before, above the initial Oloroso notes. 16

Julian Jeffs: Rather light color, but good, penetrating nose. Not objectionable, but unexciting and rather short. 12
