No comprendo much about this no-age-stated series, I’m afraid, but I thought the ‘Passion’ edition was very good back in 2015 (WF 85). Colour: gold. Nose: it’s a bit like a ‘105’ at a lower strength, if that rings a bell to you. Nice sharp yet rounded malty sherriness and touches of earth, tobacco, and leather. There. Mouth: yeah, very good, bright, full of zesty oranges and tangerines, with a layer of sweet white wine (Sauternes-like) and notes of tinned apricots and muscat grapes. Some sweeter sherry must have been involved. Finish: rather long, with added spices and pepper. It’s fresh and bright, which is obviously good (and leaves room for a second measure). Oranges in the aftertaste. Comments: hate to give good scores to NAS, but remember the NAS issues are about transparency, not quality. I know I’m not preaching in the desert, am I?
