ABV 46%
Again, nose and palate are very different. But the rich fruity profile, though unlike on nose and palate, is elegant and satisfying.

Taster
Nose: Relaxed and spicy with a lovely layered effect. Cedar, strawberry, dusty currant leaf, pollen. Water enhances the clean aromatic effect: fresh-cut green grass, unripe peach, apple and light oak.
Palate: Very pure and honey-sweet. Lightly oily with apple, apricot and blackcurrant, then a step-change to intense spices and olive.
Finish: Balanced and long. Some oak. Blackberry.
Comment: As quiet, complex and elegant as the man himself.
Score: 8.9
