Overall
Score
8.8
Nose
Maturity in immediate evidence. Plenty of leather oil alongside scented grassiness, dried apple and subtle smoke. As it develops there’s fruit peelings, peppermint, a hint of lavender/lilac.
Palate
More smoke, but in a relaxed fashion rather than being overpowering. Citrus before the smoke returns.
Finish
Peppery and vibrant.
Comment
Balanced, complex. Highest recommendation.
