Palate: Surprisingly fresh. Mint toffee. Sweet tobacco.

Finish: Dusty spices. Cinnamon. Ginger. Quite sweet.

Comment: A long maturation for a blend, but this has emerged with confidence, style and sophistication.

Score: 8.3

Dave Broom

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
