Ledaig 2008 Amarone Cask Finish

Nose: Dry spice cupboard, sweet smoke. Corn tortilla chips. Palate: Loads of hot honey sweetness. A dose of sea salt. Finish: Charcoal smoke and black pepper linger. A red apple sweetness appears much later. A little bit of water brings out more of the fruit and dials down the pepper heat which makes it more enjoyable in my opinion.

A rich funk, more smoky than peaty. Quite intense also

While not the barnyard funk of the 13-Amontillado, this has a nice amount of funk but with a slightly sweeter and easier feeling. So good.
