BOW (87)

Nose: An abundance of sherry aromas with red fruit (berries and cherries), farm boys, oak in the sun, aged leather and brown sugar. What’s not to love?
Taste: Creamy with toffee and nutmeg, maple syrup with raisins in chocolate, warming herbs.
Finish: Warming and pampering with cherry jelly

A lot of finishes everywhere, I agree, but whose fault is it? The bottlers' lacking in excitement or the distillers' who offer very average casks with little soul? That's open for discussion (only on postcards or on Facebook please). Colour: amber gold. Nose: shoe polish! And roasted chestnuts, walnuts, metal polish, old coins (or old iPhones) and just a large tin box full of tealeaves. With water: Barbour grease, furniture polish, walnuts and more shoe polish. Impeccable, you would believe you're at House of Bruar's. Mouth (neat): nah it worked a treat. There's nasty dull, sweetish PX and there's good PX (apparently). Remember it's a grape varietal, not a type of wine, and that dry PX can be stunning. This is stunning, I find. With water: please do not add too much (guilty as charged, thank God I was having a lot). Otherwise, perfect. Cigars and teas. Finish: long, ashy, with more walnuts, polishes, some saltiness, and clearly a feeling of amontillado (I agree, that's not very 'PX', but there). Comments: why only the Netherlands? Joking, great drop.
