Taster

Nose: Lime, underripe mangos and slight sour bready note, like brioche. Spritzy and slightly grassier with water. With more time there are distinct chocolate limes and marzipan.

Palate: Lime marmalade on brown toast. Viscous, then dries out with a little woodiness.

Finish: Complex citrus fruits and woodiness. Candied lemons.

Comment: Enjoyable and distinctive. Like an eccentric old aunt.

Score: 8.5

Taster

Nose: Broad, mature, with light turfy smoke and a sweet crispness like cheesecake base. Hint of sourdough, grass, autumn leaves, dry oak.

Palate: Very upfront despite obvious age. Another which is slow to open once it sinks onto the tongue: caramelised black fruit, toffee, brazil nut.

Finish: Surprisingly fresh and almost zesty.

Comment: The mental picture is of an old library filled with leather bound volumes and someone smoking a pipe in the distance.

Score: 8.3
