Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Reminds me of a dunnage warehouse. Sweet, damp and enveloping.

Palate: Quite the opposite. Becomes sharp and crisp. The oak coming through with dried fruit notes.

Finish: Continues as sharp and spiced.

Comment: No messing with this but the shift from nose to palate was pretty marked.

Score: 7.2
