The sherry influence seems more noticeable. Slightly astringent. There's a tinge of copper alongside slivers of cocoa powder, some ginger, a touch of coffee and sponge cake. Then fresher aromas of orange zest and some light floral hints. More vanilla notes creep up as well.
Taste
Mouthfeel is decent. Almost sort of creamy. Quite some active oak. Hints of ginger, allspice and sandalwood, but also caramel, a touch of sultanas and fudge.
Finish
Short to medium. Lingering oak spices and caramel. A touch of char, cloves and fennel too.
