Nose

Big and perfumed: dried lavender, honey, cake mix, black cherry and rye pepperiness.

Palate

Huge, heavy and oily, then the acidic rye blasts its way in like Jesse James and takes control souring things up and giving a powerful mouthful that balances sweet and savoury beautifully.

Finish

Long with wonderful balance.

Comment

A classic big-boned style that gets maximum extraction of flavours.
