Nose

Smoky, charred nose. Complex earth tones with liquorice, cigar smoke, leather, walnut cake.

Palate

A deep brooding bourbon with butterscotch/vanilla underpinnings showing lovely interplay between honey and chocolate. Wood has a presence, but nuttily so.

Finish

Oak, but lovely balance.

Comment

A deep earthy affair. One to sip with a good cigar. Gene Clark.
