Nose

Not especially forthcoming. Eventually there’s a pleasingly industrial note of engine oil, and linseed oil, that gives way to tons of vanilla and citrus.

Palate

Gentle, oily, but boring: citrus, grass and vanilla, with black pepper and coriander. There’s a nice meaty streak, boiled ham glazed with marmalade. A nice spirit at the core.

Finish

Short, oily, and herbal. Pepper and grassiness linger.

Comment

The wood just didn’t give much; lacks the diversity of flavours.
