- Nose
- Shy at first then opening on autumnal aromas. Wet leaves,a hint of mushroom. Cider apples in the attic. A
smoky and damp scent rises up with an earthy note.
- Palate
- Smooth. Alcohol is well mastered. Peaty. A big smoky flavour wrapping fruit. Then fresh oak wins over fruit.
- Finish
- Crisp,dry,tickling. A leafy touch.
- Comment
- The smoky character is more expressive on the palate than on the nose. Goes with the season.
60
- Nose
- Starts off with burger relish and chicory coffee,but there is a chemical off note too,particularly with water.
- Palate
- Peat and root vegetables battling with an unpleasant dirty note.
- Finish
- Gloopy,vinous, and not nice.
- Comment
- Reminds me of accident I had once with my chemistry set.
