Bourbon/ First Fill Spanish oak finish.
Tasted: Oct 2019
Really deep aromas of mature sherry with floral dried fruit, milk chocolate, stewed fruit, ginger and subtle American oak notes. With time hints of gooseberry skin, minerals, vanilla, coffee, pomegranate and orange conserve. A fabulous nose!
The palate is fresher and more mineral with milk chocolate, raisinated fruit, sultana, dried peach, heather and creamy vanilla. Subtle notes of coffee’d tannins and mature sherrywood follow but the sheer weight of fruit and American oak vanillins softens those tannins. A little grippy on the middle but wonderfully spicy. A little drying on the finish but it’s pleasantly coffee’d with a heathery, mineral fade. That’s a great finish!
