Taster
Nose: Autumnal.Charred wood,bonfire and hands plunged deep into moist leaf mould. Thick and toffeed,bold with a smoky edge Opens up to mulberry and,with water,a hint of cordite.
Palate: Seems old,deep and quite resinous. Dried fruits,walnut,furniture polish. A slow,elegant and natural quality to it Big tannins,but sweetness to balance.
Finish: Light smoke then a burst of strawberry.
Comment: Elegant and complex. Highly recommended.
Score: 8.6
