Nose
Nutty and cakey. Walnut oil. Fresh orange peel.
Palate
Oily, nearly viscous. Dried apricot. Roasted pinenuts. Candied chestnut. Toffee, mocha ice cream.
Finish
Warm, sensuous, so elegantly satisfying. Liquorice and chestnut again.
Comment
This jewel is bursting with life an joie de vivre, like a bright aromatic rainbow. Want a wee refill?

Nose
Lifted and elegant. spicy. Citric. Malty notes along with toffee. Grows in the glass. Complex.
Palate
Gentle yet broad and mouth-filling with orange peel, balanced oak. A clever, subtle package with a surge of flavour on the finish.
Finish
Long, oaky, fantastically complex.
Comment
More lifted than others of this age. Just has the edge in terms of complexity and balance.
