Nose

Pears in cider with custard and chocolate, rich and sweet. Leaf mulch and a sweetness of spun sugar. Oak comes through with a carpenter’s lathe, fresh oak, toffee pennies, leather seats.

Palate

Very gentle, but fruits start to emerge, honeycomb and a toasted oak, coconut macaroons. Then spice starts, a little tannin.

Finish

Gentle, soft and spice laden, some of those fruits (mainly apples and pears) come through right at the end.

Comment

Like being in a vintage MGB GT. Seriously easy drinking but depth if you look.
