Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/09/2011

Appearance:

Clear, bronze amber with golden flecks.

Aroma:

Pungent yet mellow nose with Christmas cake fruit and dried fruit aromas to the fore with delicate wafts of flower blossom, tobacco, old leather and sandal wood.

Taste:

Sweet entry to the palate followed by a burst of cigar tobacco, spicy oak, ginger, cinnamon spice and old leather chased by violet blossom, vanilla and chewy nubuck leather.

Aftertaste:

Long, gracefully oaked finish with lingering stewed fruit, vanilla and nubuck leathery nuttiness.
