I'll start with the good. It has a pleasent citrus and frute smell and it feels very smooth in the mouth. . but then the bad news comes. No complexity at all for a 15y solera. It tastes more like a 3y old and there is nothing left from the good smell. After 2seconds the ethanol kicks in and kills any chance of a good taste. My wife even said her tongue hurted from the ethanol. I won't buy this one again. Only ok thing: the price. 21€ for 15y solero isn't that bad. I would suggest to put some water drops in it or let it breath for some time before drinking it. Maybe then the taste will survive a bit longer and thicken
