Tasting Notes
"The nose begins with the scent of an old wooden wine cellar which contains within it a small medicinal cabinet. This wooded tastes lends itself to nuts, sherry, and small hints of caramel and vanilla-dipped-fruits that dance through a small haze of sap and resin. On the tongue, there is a prickly mouthfeel with the flavors leaning towards raisins and a somewhat sour tang. The medicinal scent returns in the form of briny maritime malt and sea-spray. The finish is of medium length and brings in brine and port together with the wine cabinet making a final appearance before softly fading away. "
