Nose
Cherry compote. Green walnut. Touch of tar. Tobacco leaf. Hot coffee. Sweeter aromas slowly emerge. Shortcrust pastry. Vanilla biscuit.
Palate
Sherry reveals heavy fruit: prunes, plums, cherries. Pleasant sourness. Spicy, tickling.
Finish
Very spicy. Really numbing tastebuds. Bitter chocolate aftertaste.
Comment
A beautiful and complex nose, palate starts right then the elegant spiciness.

Amber in colour and fruity, almost winey nose of black fruits, Ribena, chocolate and in time resin. Water brings out wood oils, sandalwood.
Palate
Rich oak tones, well structured and complex. Cigar box, berry fruits, walnut. Very sweet, very deep with good tannic structure.
Finish
Long, sweet and savoury. Tea leaf.
Comment
An exotic dram with an extra dimension and complexity. Sensual.
