Overall
Score
8.6
Nose
Orange zest,incense and peat smoke. A shrine on Islay.Fleshy fruits,black olive with assertive smoke,buddleia, hardtoffee and roasting sweet spice. The balsamic note suggests age.
Palate
Big smoke and a solid mix of fruit cake and tarred twine. Substantial and complex,though needing a touch of water to show it's got a gentle and fruity side.
Finish
A smooth build-up of all the complexities on the palate.
Comment
Refined,bold but elegant. Buy one.
