Nose Baked fruit, especially apples and sultanas, with a soft citric sweetness like lemon curd. There's a slight woodiness, but this smells very young for a 35 year old.
Palate More baked fruits, this time with cinnamon. A good apple crumble with custard, there are some biscuit notes too but the cinnamon and pepper leads towards the end, with the some gentle cedar wood.
Finish Sweet dark chocolate and black pepper with a soft cinnamon note.
Overall A still youthful and inviting 35 year old, this is nevertheless an dram with some depth.
