Overall
Score
7.5
Nose
Plenty of wood. Plasticene, emulsion paint and amyl nitrate. Water reveals toasted oak, rich dried fruits, cumin/coriander powder.
Palate
Soft demerara sweetness. Toasted almond, grilled nut. Acquires some elegance, almost Cognac like. A floral, pot pourri note. Grippy oak.
Finish
Marzipan. Almond slices.
Comment
Strange nose but good flavours.
