- Nose
- Deep. intense. Perfumy. Sandalwood. Vetiver. Cedar. Enticing array of some remote exotic spice market. Hint of Turkish delight.
- Palate
- Smooth and velvety. The same aromatic profile as the nose. Well structured. Damson plums.
- Finish
- Dry, long, spicy.
- Comment
- An old bourbon? With lots of wood notes, all integrated and complex.
88
- Nose
- Seriously intense and elegant. Gentle caramel notes mix with tropical fruit,
the citrus is quite apparant. Then layer of spices.
- Palate
- Silky smooth and aromatic. The oak comes through with a sweetness
which then turns to a spiced dryness.
- Finish
- Spiced and dry, but it does keep going.
- Comment
- Impressively balanced between the oak, sweetness and dry qualities.
Very drinkable.
