Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense sherry. Rich dried fruit. Dates, figs,prunes. The alcohol is slightly prickly. Coffee toffee. Melted oak. Old furniture. Cigar box. Eucalyptus hints.

Crisp, tangy. As expected,oak is overwhelming. Bitter sweet chocolate. Water takes it on the bitter side.

Finish

Long, liquorice.

Comment

The nose is a delight. To enjoy the palate,you have to be a wood freak.
