Nose

Exotic: flat cola, wet bamboo, hedgerow, sour black cherry mixed with coconut, chocolate and green fig. With water, eucalyptus.

Palate

Shows real maturity, complexity and balance. Tongue-coating with layers of flavour and good weight. The oiliest so far.

Finish

Long, with a refreshing tart grip.

Comment

This has excellent backbone and manages to integrate fully the bitter edge that creeps into many of these.
