Becomes oaky. Finish Oaky but not dry. Rather short. Comment To be enjoyed like a glass of port. Bring walnuts and blue cheese.

Dave Broom Nose Roast chestnut, treacle, Old English marmalade. Becomes like incense like/resinous with water. Briary notes, Turkish Delight, gingerbread and raisin, parma violet, hint of peat. Antique shop. Palate Quite firm, black fruits, raisin. Good grip but not too tannic. Runny toffee. Rich. Finish Lightly tannic autumn leaves. Comment Has hidden depths. Doesn't like water.
