Here is my previous note: Medium deep amber yellow-tinged colour. Attractive, sweet, honeyed, Seville orange marmalade nose with some faintly bitter herbal notes. Seductive, sweet, medium-full bodied, well balanced, very spicy, honeyed, brown sugar and creme caramel flavours with a lingering, spicy, honeyed, bitter-sweet, herbal finish. Keep chilled once opened. Has 15.5% alcohol and 141 g/L residual sugar with lot number L170811 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: ... relying on fine Spanish sherry for the wine component and aromatized with such classic ingredients as wormwood, cinnamon, cinchona bark and orange. Medium sweet, it's richer than the big brands and yet, to my taste, more sippable on its own (preferably on the rocks) than even top-notch Italian brand Carpano Antica Formula, which costs more than twice the price. The layered experience delivers notes of cola, raisin, ginger, leather and roasted nuts and the texture is smooth. Try it in a Manhattan cocktail ...
