Nose

Chocolate truffle, nutmeg, cinnamon buns and black vanilla pods. A touch of ginger cake. Strong and heavy.

Palate

Crème brûlée topping, drying oak and a big hit of bluebird toffee. Packed full of flavour, if not a little too dry.

Finish

Long and lingering wood.

Comment

An okay example of extreme oak maturation which has resulted in a rather too strong and dusty offering this time.
