Tasting Notes
A lovely and highly inviting nose full of nectars, young sweet wines and flower honeys. Green fruit syrups, sandalwood, apple chutney and French fancies. Easy going and pleasurable we agreed. With water we got agave syrup, wintergreen, shoe polish and limoncello with a scattering of cloves. The neat palate opened with a slick richness of polished leather before evolving towards sultanas, camphor, honey roast parsnips with herbs and bitter orange marmalade. Reduction brought brioche, candied citrus peels, bergamot oil and lime curd. A big slice of Dundee cake awaited us in the aftertaste. Matured for 13 years in a bourbon hogshead before transfer to a 2nd fill Sauternes barrique.
