- Nose
- Richly earthen and oily/waxy, beeswax candles and wood polish, slightly spicy and zesty, musty old oak wood and leather-bound tomes in a library, dusty with a little limestone and chalk dust, a hint of honey moves into subtle honey-glazed bbq meats. Dry fruits (plums, apricot), heather, old wood, dusty cellars, sherry influence, smoked peaches, apricot jam, fermented mangoes, sea salt, coastal salinity, and a sherry-aged danky funk.
- Palate
- Beeswax and honey, candles, crayons, sweet and sharp/zesty. Deep and rich with notes of tanned leather, wood tannins, woody sugars, sugary fudge, tobacco leaf, old cigar boxes, cinnamon, pepper spice, savoury notes, sage leaf, sweet charred scallop meat. Fruity, candied, raisins, cassis, heathered honey, spicier (cinnamon, vanilla), oakier, subtle coal smoke, salty liquorice, salted ham, bacon, and black pepper.
- Finish
- Long, waxy, oily, dirty, dusty, gentle sweetness and a touch of savoury. Very long, regaining raisin sweetness, peaches and cream, and a very smoky peaches and cream.
