Nose

Red fruits dominate, before earthier liquorice root and oatcake comes in. A metallic copper character is in there.

Palate

Lovely rich body. Caramel sauce, dehydrated raspberries and milk chocolate ice cream, barley crumbled on top. The dying embers of a bonfire in the background. Bizarrely I get sea salt-dusted padrón peppers.

Finish

Salty, yet rich cereal notes.

Comment

I’m not sure where those dominant fruit aromas went, but they were edged out by those richer notes. Still a good drop.
