Tasting Notes

"The nose offers a combination of fruits and nuts, with plums, apricots and prunes representing the former, and almonds and walnuts the latter. There's also cocoa powder, and a back note of smoked meat. The palate is rich and sweet with red grapes, raspberry syrup, and overripe apples dusted with cinnamon. Peat enters the equation towards the finish in the form of campfire and charcoal, with closing notes including leather, ginger, toffee and tannic oak."
