Aroma - This smells “thick” for the proof point. (Just my initial reaction). Really giving off a strong jam-like vibe here. More dark fruits (plums, figs) than red fruits (strawberries and cherry pie) make their presence known. There’s a strong brown sugar and caramel backbone that holds this all together. As it opens up, a bit more baking spices begin to make their presence known. Taste - Caramel, dark fruits, vanilla, very light hint of baking spices. The finish is long, full of dark fruits and caramel. Then there is a slight pivot to a drying note that prevents this from being too sweet on the palate. The alcohol also makes its presence known. Overall - The finish is nice. Several minutes after a sip, the dark fruity waves mixed with caramel continue to make their presence known. The viscosity is right on par for the proof point. Was expecting a bit more sherry notes but overall this is a solid offering. 4.30
