Review and Tasting

Sampled before 1st May 2011

Appearance:

Clear, mid golden amber with bight golden highlights.

Aroma:

Warm vanillins, old and nubuck leather with sultana rich fruit cake, toasted brazil nut and very faint fresh peppermint.

Taste:

Very slightly sweet, chammy leather with grape ‘n’ almond nuttiness and cleansing peppermint freshness with floral violet blossom.

Aftertaste:

Black pepper and faint curry spice with lingering green grape, olive oil-like oiliness fading into peppery basil/faint aniseed.
