Rating: 6/10
Very good. It hits those notes for something finished but not like some of the sherry bombs I have had. Very good as I enjoy the flavors but it doesn’t rise to great heights for me. A good drink to just kick back on the patio and enjoy in the evening, requiring a bit of your attention, but not too much.
