Nose

A little slick undiluted: apple, resin and orange. Water brings out rubber, fruits, nuts, orange peel and treacle. Autumnal.

Palate

Slightly slick sweet note. Youth and high alcohol combined makes it a pretty lively mouthful.

Finish

Lemon balm, pepper and sherry notes, then alcohol heat. After the fires die there's dry wood, liquorice and soot.

Comment

Fiery. Alcohol dominates too much for me.
