There is also a faint dustiness behind with a slight herbal note.Water freshens the nose considerably with zesty orange peel (again bitter-sweet). The flavour matches the nose, both sweet and then dry with a lovely texture, nicely balanced and refreshing. The dustiness returns with more water, but the cherries insinuate in the otherwise dry aftertaste. The sherry has not dominated this maturation, allowing the original character of the make to shine through.
