Taster

Nose: Outrageously flagrant in its perfume, like a gentleman's cologne kept in a rosewood casket.

Palate: Turkish delight, fresh timber, barley sugar sweetness, rum-like notes. Rich and sweet. Doesn't take water too well.

Finish: Dense, creamy/oily. Very powerful with good tannic balance. Supple power.

Comment: The most fragrant on show. Slightly OTT, but has the weight to cope. George Melly in a glass.

Score: 8
