Review and Tasting

Sampled on 09/07/2014

Appearance

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma

Buttery suede leather, sherry, nutmeg, ripe banana and toasted hazelnut with backed apple pie. Water releases balsawood and cedarwood.

Taste

Full-bodied, sherry-rich and elegantly woody with earthy lightly smoky peat and chocolate. Water amplifies sherry and dry woodiness.

Aftertaste

Long dry, gently peaty finish.

Closure: Natural cork stopper
