7.4

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Reminds me of a dunnage warehouse. Sweet, damp and enveloping.
Palate: Quite the opposite. Becomes sharp and crisp. The oak coming through with dried fruit notes.
Finish: Continues as sharp and spiced.
Comment: No messing with this but the shift from nose to palate was pretty marked.
