Comments:
Quite intensely and unapologetically sweet. There’s still some complexity, but it’s a welter of jammy dried fruit notes. I did enjoy this, on its own merits, but in comparison to other sweet brandies (like Jerez sherry brandies), it pales a little bit. I would probably have a bottle around for everyday drinking.
Verdict:
I like this.
