Tasting Notes

Nose

Oaky notes dominate along with butter, toffee, Nutella and tangerine. Water brings out sweet butter, cooked fruits, peach and syrup. A woodier note as it develops.

Palate

Pretty dry. Lots of spice and vanilla. Rounded and silky.

Finish

Vanilla and black fruits.

Comment

Fuller and yet somehow crisper than the 16 Years Old.
