Tasting notes

Brown colour. Complex nose with lots of oxidized, dried fruits. Apricot, citrus, old wood, nuts, even salt. Not at all unlike an old fino. In the mouth this is rather off-dry in style. The sweetness mostly gone by now. But with a little fatness in front that tells you it has been there. Still lot of fruit, but oxidized notes. Nutty, old woody, some apricot. Good acidic backbone, typical of this vintage. Long citrusy finish.
Judged as a sherry-like wine I can find some really nice things in this bottle. It is complex still with lots of fruit. But it's faults are very obvious by now.
