Tastes

I don’t get the love. Red apples and butterscotch on the nose, but while the mouth-feel and palate are rich and creamy the finish is thin and rather stingy. 22-22-20-20=84

Nose is clean vanilla and coke. So much char, oak and banana on the palate but it goes away too soon. The extremely dry and woody finish doesn’t take any prisoners. Still much better than the reputation. 22-22-22-22=88

Wonderful palate (sweet and rich) before a more woody, and dark fruit, finish. 22-24-23-23=92

Sharp and grainy. Luckily also salty and very fruity, 22-22-22-23=89

The memory of the great nose disappears with the tart and watery finish. Palate is fine but too short. 23-22-20-21=86

Peaty nose followed by a peaty, nutty, and caramel friendly palate. The finish is a much harsher story. 21-23-21-21=86

Fine nose and palate before an extremely dry, even tart, finish. 22-22-19-20=83
