Taster
Nose: The impression is of great age. Big, mature truffley aromas: lilies tobacco, honeycomb/wax, black walnut, rancio, oak. Complex and dense.
Palate: Very soft and heavy. Honey, beeswax, beech woods, russet apple. In time a lighter nuttier side emerges. Chewy and weighty.
Finish: Dry and lightly perfumed. Heather.
Comment: Bosky, ancient.
Score: 8.8
