Nose: Warm apple turnovers with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, strawberry jam sandwiches, slowly developing aromatic cedar, with a touch of perfumed malt, too. New leather, brioche, and toffee popcorn.
Palate: Nutty baklava, lemon curd, toffee popcorn again, spicy caraway, mature oak. Enjoyably buttery on the mid-palate, leading to frangipane and Ricicles in milk notes.
Finish: Apples from the nose return, dotted with pear drops and plump raisins, with soft anise and clove carrying on and on.
Overall: A brilliantly well-structured blend, showing off its years proudly.
