Nose
Rich and rounded: toffee (Werthers Original) orange, light spice/leaf. Pretty rich, good balance. Palate
Thick in the mouth. A chewy weight, any woodiness is balanced by buttered nuts, citrus and a slightly earthy smokiness. A lush package. Finish
Dry and nutty with good balance. Comment
A lot to it. Everything has knitted together well.
