Nose
Furniture polish and mixed spice. Palate
The familiar vinatge DNA of cream soda, melting into vanilla toffee. Finish
An unusual vigorous climax to a stunning offering. Comment
Don't know how Barry Walsh keeps this standard up year on year, the most robust MVR in ages. Bravo!
Dave Broom
Nose
Subtle and complex. Very spicy with sandalwood, discreet oakiness, cereal and peach. In time even more spice and a lovely juiciness. Palate
Long and very perfumed with layers of flavour: lilac, oak, toffee. Finer than the others. Finish
Long, spices, oak. Comment
Leave a glass of this to breathe for 24 hours and you're blown away by its complexity.
