Taster
Nose: Complex. Coconut oil, oak, wood, basil, dried orange skin, hint of smoke. With water, sultana, butter and a singed note.
Palate: Smoke again. Everything quite concentrated then leaps into life, broadening and coating the palate. Builds in complexity, then spice.
Finish: Tangerine and toast.
Comment: Contemplative.
Score: 8.3
