Nose

Mature, highly extracted aromas. Varnish, fruit jams alongside cherry, bitter chocolate, barley sugar, overripe apricot and dunnage warehouse.

Palate

Vinous. The dense fruits re-appear with a balancing sourness and a hint of bitter orange peel. Powerful, rich, thick and waxy/unctuous that, once diluted, reveals membrillo and rose hip syrup.

Finish

Cedar and liquorice.

Comment

Odd, askew, individual and marvellous but way too pricey. On liquid alone the score is 9.1
