Tasting Note

Nose

A nice, deep fruitiness, reminding me of the best 1970’s casks. Poached pears, raspberry gums, quinces, alongside the obvious figs and raisins. Very jammy. There’s also a roasted/earthy note in the background, think coffee beans and wet leaves. Nice top notes of polished oak and leather.

Palate

Sweet, but there’s more emphasis on the darker notes now – the fruits are on a second level. Walnuts, dark chocolate, toasted hazelnut. Hints of pipe tobacco. Burnt brown sugar. Sweet and sour. Some slightly bitter, herbal notes, cardamom, and eucalyptus. Towards the end, black cherries and forest fruits come out.

Finish

Long, still some toasted notes and Mon Cheri.
