Nose Deeply savoury, very woody with aromatic spice, menthol, camphor, plus apricots both fresh and dried, phenomenal complexity.
Palate Tannic and woody but not too much, rather like a good claret. There’s plenty of fruit here too with dark chocolate, coffee and toffee.
Finish Dark chocolate, orange peel, very long with bitter espresso coffee like you get in Naples.
Overall Big brooding style, lots of cask influence but with gorgeous fruit.
