Overall
Score
8.0
Nose
Oaky. Fresh oak, sawdust. Medlars. Dry apple skin. Hint of shoe polish. Touch of apricot. Digestive biscuit. A faint sulphur note.
Palate
Smooth and round. Oak is better integrated than on the nose. Butterscotch. A slight salty note. Touch of marshmallow.
Finish
Sweet and slightly spicy.
Comment
Difficult to sense the sauternes cask influence. Maybe some added sweetness but the aromas are not precise. A pleasant dram though.
