The color is deep gold. The nose is characterized by roasted nuts, chestnut honey with touches of liquorice, and it’s then rather geared towards heather honey, gorse, dandelions, one mint leaf, as well as the traditional ripe peaches and melons. Touch of coffee too.
The mouth has many stewed fruits, old boy’s jam, even a hint of straw-berry jam, then a wonderful, slightly sour (cherries) rancio. Coffee and liquorice coating it all.
The finish is medium long, with some welcome tiny touches of old oak and tobacco, cinnamon rolls, plus hints of pepper and clove in the aftertaste.
