10 Years Old Zinfandel Aged

A finer structured example but the Zinfandel element seems a little bolted on.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Seems to have more rye lift giving a dustier edge. Mint and coconut. Rose petals and plum jam. In the hickory smoked camp.

Palate: More straight down the line than the last one. Seems to have age, wet leather, canvas, coriander powder. The maraschino note is there again, fennel.

Finish: Surprisingly fruity and jammy.

Comment: A finer structured example but the Zinfandel element seems a little bolted on.

Score: 7.5

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Perfumey, with vanilla, honey and beeswax traces.

Palate: Sharp and dry, with oak dominant.

Finish: Vacuum-like dryness sucks the cheeks.

Comment: Get past the dryness and this one's a grower.

Score: 8
