Taster

Nose: Soft and gentle with spun sugar notes at first. Then a little green tobacco,\rmoving to dark treacle, fresh ploughed fields.

Palate: Sweet fruit, apple compote and brown sugar. A little nougat, faint spices and\rwarming bread. The oak takes a grip too but is well integrated.

Finish: White chocolate and drying.

Comment: Up front sweetness at first but in time there is more than just sugar here.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Malty and oaky. Bracken, wet straw, damp wood. Opens on soft fruit and\rcider apple. Aniseed hint.

Palate: Crisp. Sweet and bitter. Oak speaks up. Raisins, candied ginger, hazelnut cake. The oak grip keeps on. A distant yeasty note.

Finish: Dry, oaky.

Comment: An oaky character. Aromatic but a bit dour, especially on the palate.

Score: 7.7
