Nose
Rich. Polished oak. A little underlying charred-oak character.
Palate
Raisins. Madeira cake. Vanilla.
Finish
Hard toffee. Drying into slight charcoal.
Comment
Even more age to handle, but it has wistful, nostalgic charm.

Jim Murray

70
Nose
A macho oaky, orangey nose hardly for the fainthearted. Honey and tannin combine effectively but over leathery and aged.
Palate
An enormous eruption of oak takes an uncompromising grip.
Finish
Bitter and dry though a thread of burnt honey comb and chocolate.
Comment
Actually a massive improvement on the legendary 20 Years Old.
