83
- Nose
- A glossy kind of nose with lots of mature waxiness, redcurrant jelly, mulberry jam and cob nuts. Then comes fig rolls,cigar boxes and a touch
of laurel. Hint of smoke. Complex.
- Palate
- Rounded with a fascinating interplay between custard, muscovado sugar,
and an earthy undertow. This is given a lift by mint and lemon thyme.
- Finish
- Milk chocolate and dried kumquat.
- Comment
- Complex and fascinating. Snap it up.
85
- Nose
- Big and very bold. Tobacco leaves,over ripe bananas,burnt sugar and a whiff of smoke. Develops over time showing maturity.
- Palate
- Sweet spicy edge which coats the whole mouth. A subtle citrus note mixed with a real autumnal note (drying leaves,fresh ploughed fields, almost potatoes).
- Finish
- Juicy,long and restorative.
- Comment
- Get a bottle of this and the evenings are looking long and luxurious no
matter the weather.
