Review and Tasting

Sampled on 05/03/2012

Appearance

Clear, golden yellow with bright gold highlights.

Aroma

Chirpy, apple cider and caramelised pear with custard powder, polished leather and liquorice.

Taste

With the merest splash of water is delivered a surprisingly supple, sprightly and fabulously rounded palate with vanilla, oaky leather, fruit and spice all delivered harmoniously with an interest adding pinch of spice and a waft of smoke.

Aftertaste

A long lingering continuation of the fabulous palate.
