What critics and judges wrote
Layered and complex nose with fruit, wood and oak. A whisper of smoke on the palate and an intensely woody mouthfeel with leather and tobacco. A strong nutty finish.
There’s a whole lot of sherry on the nose, with a hint of oak. Then on the palate there is rich apple, spice, oak notes, caramel sweetness and dominant wood on the finish.
