Nose

Quite herbal and autumnal with burnt coffee / toffee, subtle dried fruit, both grain and sherry derived. The sherry makes it feel quite weighty and adds mature feeling wood notes along with a touch of green wood smoke.

Palate

Full and sherried, but sulphury. There is a touch of earth, prune, coffee, walnut and raisins.

Finish

Astringent with green wood and the sulphur lingering.

Comment

It’s interesting to note that the sulphur on the palate isn’t really noticeable on the nose.
