Lepanto is a brandy, which is made from Sherry and is stored and blended in Solera method. The vintages are blended and you can not determine as accurately age.
I like very soft Cognac (Favorite: Congnac Otard) and really no sherry. Although the Lepanto reminded in smell something to Sherry, but the taste is even Sherry-haters a revelation. Very very soft, not scratchy little, flowery, very pleasant long finish. Simply a pleasure madness. Undoubtedly one of the great brandies in the world.
