Taster

Nose: An overwhelming array of aromas: vanilla, orange blossom, poached pear, cooked plum, membrillo, overripe fruit, maple syrup.

Palate: Sweet with a soft, full texture. Victoria plum, citrus oil and a malty core. Good structure.

Finish: Black fruits. Soft.

Comment: Decent balance means the finish isn't dominating. Just a bit blowsy?

Score: 8

Finish: Lurking behind, and emerging gradually, restrained balancing dryness of toast and oak.

Comment: Seems simple at first, but then develops stylishly.

Score: 8.5
