Summary:
|
An energetic nose of sweet dried fruit and herbaceous dry glass hits the palate sturdily with ripe fruit, vanilla and sparks of cocoa
|
Tasting notes:
|
Nose: Herbaceous notes of bay-leaf, hay and wood spices
shine through layers of vanilla, chocolate and dried apricot.
Taste: Sturdy and powerful, the wood notes are more
noticeable with shades of creamy vanilla and sweet fruit balancing out bitter
cocoa and a subtle earthiness.
Finish: Sweet with wood steaming off the palate.

Dislikes:

This blend simply did not blossom, and while it was energetic and interesting the character remained stagnant - compared to some other blends, though, it offers some more punch
