Nose

Huge full on dark fruits, blackcurrant compote, plum puddings, bramble jam, fig newtons then onto tangy blood orange, sticky cherry herring and oak and banana.

Palate

Sticky, mouth coating, oily. A mix of those hard lime and chocolate sweets and some great juicy fruits, ripe strawberries, doughnut peaches and Victoria plums. There’s a little smoky note.

Finish

Long, lush, hints of spice and plums.

Comment

OK it’s old, and it’s probably expensive, but blimey that was quite something. Impressive.
