Nose

There’s evidence of great maturity here, the dazzling spiciness is a giveaway.Lightly oily (linseed/rape seed) with pulp fruits, cinnamon, black banana, butterscotch, pollen.

Palate

Positive, assertive grip.That fine spiciness melds with thick autumn fruits as well as peaches in syrup, Mejdoul dates.

Finish

A little smoke adds to the complexity.

Comment

Slow maturation has resulted in a balanced and complex package.
