Tasting Notes

Nose

Round and soft and very creamy. Tangerine, chocolate, toffee, some oak.

Palate

Rounded. A real wave of chocolate flavours hits you, along with nut, a hint of oak and an earthy powerful undertow. Solid stuff.

Finish

Might just be a tad short.

Comment

Fine, pretty classy stuff.
