Score

Nose
Big coconut note mixed with perfumed notes, resin, sequoia then the citrus oils and a touch of smoke. Highly concentrated. With water there’s buttery oak and cigar box.
Palate
Surprisingly soft and supple for the strength. Good wood interaction. Robust and sherried. Supple and clean with a light leathery touch.
Finish
Grippy.
Comment
Glossy and substantial with a slightly bitter undertow.
