Review and Tasting

Sampled on 01/11/2011

Appearance:

Clear, tawny amber with bright bronze highlights.

Aroma:

Pungent old sherry nose with vanilla, leather, varnished sandalwood and floral lavender.

Taste:

The robust palate keeps giving with honey and maple syrup balancing dry peaty oak, salted mixed nuts with subdued Christmas cake fruit.

Aftertaste:

Pleasing smoky, coal tar, slightly salted nut finish with a touch of Christmas cake fruit.
