Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

big and tight, with some leafy sherry and some soapy stems. Otherwise varnish, cakes and cakes. I'd swear water is needed. With water: beer, ales, cider and walnut wine

restaurant Palate

punchy and butterscotchy. With water: there, we tamed it. Water is totally mandatory or the oak would just lead the pack to the cliff. Loosened-up, suppler, rounder, with more praline, roasted pecans and tobacco

timer Finish

long, bitterish when unreduced, easier when at some civilised strength
