80
- Nose
- Peaty. Dry. Smoky.
- Palate
- Begins with crisp, toasted (slightly burnt) hazelnuts. Develops a passion-fruit bitterness. Rounded out by a lemony, spicy, background.
- Finish
- Comment
- A deft, attractive, dram.
85
- Nose
- Chargrilled notes, barbecue embers, peppery extra-virgin olive oil, then a vanilla garnish.
- Palate
- Ultra-delicate with smoky vanilla, earthy, chargrilled notes opening up, while baked apples, vanilla sauce, juicy lemon and maltines.
- Finish
- Earthy, barbecued flourish with lightly luscious sweetness.
- Comment
- A cross between a trapeze artist and a tightrope walker: performs dazzling routines while retaining poise and balance.
