Nose

Mature and deep with a superb layering effect: ripe fleshy autumn fruits. Then fudge, citrus and a leather/bung cloth note.

Palate

Deep with good grip. Real power and a figgy depth, but then it lifts once more into cherry stone/maraschino. One to sip slowly.

Finish

Long, silky.

Comment

Yet another superb Balblair which chimes perfectly with the official bottlings.
