Overall
Score
7.9
Nose
Sappy tannins, crystallised ginger, and a fruit cake. A lint medical note and some smoke. Water brings up some new sawn oak, a raisiny sweetness and more spice.
Palate
A big, sappy, woody palate with barley sugars, smoke and ginger wine.
Finish
Tannic and smoky.
Comment
Intensely flavoured, but while it shouted very loud I didn't necessarily enjoy everything it had to say.
