Review and Tasting

Sampled on 23/03/2013

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber with burnished bronze highlights.

Aroma:

Oak, caramel, treacle, prunes, roasted almond and vanilla with a whiff of apricot fruit, curry-like spice and cigar box.

Taste:

Old-school in style but well-balanced with apricot fruit and cedar wood with dry brazil nut, cigar tobacco and light spice – ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Aftertaste:

Lightly spiced fruitcake, woody dry tannins, cigar leaf and cedar wood. Mouth coating.
