Overall
Score
8.2
Nose
Oolong tea, preserved lemon light and clean hard caramel, then comes strawberries, oak lactone, little hint of oiliness. With water it’s chocolate biscuits, fragrant oak.
Palate
Immediate and direct. Quite fat, jammy and tongue-coating. Builds steadily to the back palate. Stewed apples.
Finish
Lightly oaky.
Comment
Has a lovely pooling effect on the palate.
