8.1

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Marzipan, icing sugar and a little distant smoke. Strawberry liqueur sweetness gives way to hot buttered cornbread and barley sugar.
Palate: Needs a little water to open up a bit, but those sweet cornbread and barleysugar notes come shining through. Spices lurk.
Finish: Dries with spices and wood tannins.
Comment: Balanced and well layered, just need a drop of water to help it emerge.
