Nose

Round and well-covered with some mellow maturity. Fruit cake mix,clean spiciness, integrated wood. Lightly resinous,incense slightly yeasty.

Palate

Generous,with a bitter/sweet interplay. Gentle in the centre then a full-on spice attack mixed with mulberry depth. Raspberry vinegar, lemon zest. Water makes it too bitter.

Finish

Head-shakingly zesty.

Comment

It has balance but needs to be approached with cautious respect.
