Taster
Nose: Dry smoke. Cigars and canvas. Rockpools/wet stone and rain moistened tweed. Water makes it\rmore like oilskins (maybe put on over the tweed?) and turned earth. Young but enigmatic.
Palate: Smoke,then an unctuous thick feel. Clings to the tongue. Deep syrupy fruit,semi-dried peach. Brooding and powerful. Complex.
Finish: Black treacle.
Comment: A belter. Highest recommendation
Score: 8.6
