Tasting Note: This is gorgeous! Textured, salty with that perfect lift of sweet oak on the finish. I really like the way this deals with the fruit as it hits the mid palate – very impressive and a real hit of spicy red fruits and toast. The next day the nose shows such an intense oaky sweetness and loads of liquorice, pepper, vanilla, stewed blackcurrants on the palate, with really good grip and fruit, salinity on the finish.
