Nose

Dark, pungent and malty with manure, peat, tar, fish oils and wood spices. Superb depth and complexity with cigar leaf and gritty but soft tannins.

Palate

Malty with dark honey, coffee, walnut shell, subtle peat and gritty tannins. Mouth-filling with violets, dark chocolate and gentle mature, Armagnac-esque dried fruit.

Finish

Malty and fishy with lingering prunes, walnut, sherry wood spice and salt.

Comment
