| Nose- Nice earthy character with a dry peat note. Smoldering charcoal on a beach bonfire with smoky sausages and a touch of menthol, reminiscent of a trip to the dentist. Taste- Smoky and peppery, like fireworks going off on your tongue. Nice oily texture and earthy flavours pierced by a prickle of spices before allowing some sweeter notes to flood through. Finish- Ashy and oaky. Comments- Not bad at all, difficult to find any faults so I will leave it at that!! | |||||||

| Nose: 'Very, very fruity - tropical fruit party!!!! Cumquat, cherry pie and dried orange, a real buzz, very refreshing and a then treated to candy floss. Taste: A thick oily mouth-feel with gentle underlying spices, Wham bars, fruit salad followed by orange and ginger marmalade. Finish: A nice bit of sherry with rustic charm, great balance and cherry drops. Fantastic stuff, no water necessary!!' | |||||||

| Nose is packed with plenty of sherry and soft rubber which really tickles the nose hairs! Jammy with soft sticky cola bottles and rose petals - FAULTLESS! Big FAT Prunes, delicate floral notes and soft wine tones. A big juicy merlot and blackcurrent cheesecake await you on the finish. Excellent. | |||||||
