Nose

Intriguing mix of sweet and dry. Raisin, some carbonised notes. Dried tangerine peel, chocolate, fruit loaf and some earth. Development shows a slight falling off.

Palate

Sweet start, some clove, treacle toffee. Has sufficient weight to cope with the oak. Has some light tannins.

Finish

Fruit peels, bitter chocolate.

Comment

Well balanced, just decays a little over time in the glass.
