Comments:
Cask ref #CS/CR.07.04 - I think this is a later bottling (2004). Made from specially selected "very old casks". Is the buttery note rancio? I can't tell. Maybe - there's some roast chicken flavour here that could very well be it. Very rich and sweet, highly enjoyable. Some sherry monster, this.

Verdict:

I like this a lot!
