- Description
- 55.8% ABV might seem robust, but is it worth £194.95? People tag this 'Sherried' with notes of 'Cooked Fruit'—a nod to its Moscatel finish, I suppose. A 13-year wait for 'Toasted' and 'Tobacco' nuances might be a gamble. Zero ratings, though, so it could be a hidden gem or just hidden.
