Review and Tasting

Sampled on 29/05/2012

Appearance:

Clear, dark coppery amber with burnished bronze highlights.

Aroma:

Wood varnish, tropical fruit, browned butter, plump sultanas and honey.

Taste:

Rich 'rancio' qualities - old leather, overripe banana, mushrooms, soy sauce, nuts (grilled almonds, walnut-like oiliness), raisins, prunes and other dried fruits. All served with a garnish of varnish.

Aftertaste:

Nutty, varnished oak and dates/figs.
