Review and Tasting
Sampled on 26/06/2013
Appearance:
Clear, golden amber.
Aroma:
Vanilla rubbed nubuck leather, linseed oil, lemon, freshly sawn oak and putty with faint ripe pear and ever so delicate nutmeg and cinnamon spice.
Taste:
Much spicier on the palate than the nose suggests with cinnamon and nutmeg cutting through herbal, leathery oiliness with citrus to freshen and invigorate.
Aftertaste:
Spice is tamed but ever present throughout the dry, herbal, putty-like linseed influenced finish.
