92
Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Though distinctly sherried, with hints of petrol, roasted peanut, and sea breeze, there isn't the barest hint of sweetness here. Rather there is a distinct chemical aspect that dovetails beautifully with the nutty and wet straw character on the palate.
