Nose A beautifully composed aroma of grassy malt, thick red wine notes and chocolate sauce, accompanied by warm baking spices, wholemeal bread, oily walnuts and wood polish.
Palate Dry, thick and beautifully balanced juicy dates and stewed plums rise over rare steak meat and damp oak, with flickers of light spices underneath.
Finish Maintains its dryness with a modestly short finish and lingering red wine tannins.
Overall An understated dram full of sumptuous red wine flavours and plenty else to complement them.
