Overall
Score
8.2
Nose
Aromas of moist honey coated barley and sawdusty, mature American oak. Grass, minerals, pepper and earthy smoke. The fruit takes on the aged, tropical demeanour.
Palate
The mature honey is to die for! Luscious and sweet with a balancing minerality. Again slightly tropical: melon, apricot and banana. Tannins creep in but it’s still fresh.
Finish
Long, lightly smoked and dry. The oak begins to bitter a little but there’s still some honey attempting to offset.
Comment
Stunningly mature. There may be a wrinkle or two, but wrinkles come with age!
