There is no doubt possible: this nose is very sherryish. No need to smell it, this was already obvious just after having seen the colour. All the complex sweetness of sherry is present here, with some floral notes, some honey, cocoa and even vanilla.
The mouth has to deal with some complex environment, where woody bitterness, sherryish smoothness and some quite acid notes share the attention. The mouth is powerful on one hand, but seems sometimes a bit watery on the other hand. A tiny lack of consistence. The mouth is very complex and the taste seems to develop following a pre-determinate scheme. First bitterness, nuts and for a very short while, nothing (water) before going to citrus hints and than the nut again. This evolution seems to be cyclic (but water is happily not returning in the cycle). Really a nice impression in the mouth.
The finish is warm and lingering, marked principally by a mix of wood and sherry, which delivers happiness for some very long minutes.
