- Nose
- Intense. Oaky. Polished floor. Bee wax. Bread dough. Develops on nutty notes. An interesting complexity. Sultanas and almonds.
- Palate
- Big, muscular, sharp. Spices explode like fireworks. All in a tight oak frame.
- Finish
- Dry, spicy. Ginger, nutmeg. Dry almonds in the back.
- Comment
- An assertive character. A complex nose, a less enticing palate though. But water cuts the edge and makes it conversational. Needs time to “relax”.

- Nose
- Big on the oak, like a recently polished table. A little malt and reminiscent of an Eccles cake, buttery pastry and currants.
- Palate
- Crisp but then bags of spice to make the mouth water.
- Finish
- Lingering with spices.
- Comment
- Very complex and demanding, but great fun.
