Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

rough and grassy, slightly feinty, with growing notes of ‘spicy spices’ such as nutmeg (huge) and then more cloves and juniper from some seemingly very active oak. Some toffee too. Feels a little immature to me

restaurant Palate

very oak-driven indeed, despite a pleasant honeyed arrival. A creamy bitterish development, with bitter herbs, green pepper, and quite a lot of bitter marmalade

timer Finish

rather long, a tad sugary now (raspberry sweets), but also pretty bitterly spicy
