Tasting Notes

The initial nose was full of bright red fruits, concentrated jams, strawberry granita, mint leaf and limoncello. We also noted dried cranberries, sweet red liquorice and red fruit teas. Red, red, red, basically. And Tizer! With water we got bitter blood orange marmalade with coriander seed, blue raspberry ice lolly, watermelon and wild flowers. The neat palate was rich with cherry bakewell, strawberry jam, pineapple chunks, almond oil and blackcurrant cassis. With reduction came new leather, Black Jack chews, toasted cupboard spices, chai tea and Madeira sponge cake. Matured for 12 years in a bourbon hogshead before transfered to a first fill port barrique.
