Nose
Malty-all bran/shredded wheat, then a toffee-apple sweetness. With water there's dry oak and a light (attractive) earthiness. Palate
Medium-weight and quite sweet, it sits on the toungue nicely with light oakiness on the sides. Toffee-soft and easy with touches of buttered fruit loaf. Finish
Lightly dry. Comment
Charming and highly drinkable.
