Nose
Resiny at start. Old furniture. Beeswax. Floral. Pear drop with a hint of nail polish. Palate
Smooth, velvety. Sherried. Fruit. Stewed plums. Marmalade. A touch of milk chocolate. Finish
Long and delicate, full of charm with a lively fresh oak touch. Appetising gingery dryness. Comment
Well-balanced and luscious. Keeps talking if you let it breathe. A blend of distinction.
