Overall
Score
7.2
Nose
Resinous. Pigskin and wax cut with a slightly metallic note. Angular. Underneath there’s some farmyard notes: wet straw, slightly musty.Chalk with water, then milk chocolate.
Palate
Nagging heat and also an unresolved battle between spirit and cask. Gingerbread to the fore. Better with water where the waxiness comes through.
Finish
Slightly hard.
Comment
It’s good, but can’t help thinking it might be better as an 18 year old.
