Pours a light amber, like late afternoon sun through a window. First sniff gives off camphor and furniture polish, but wait – then there's prunes and citrons underneath. It's got this soft earthiness, you know? Like wet garden soil and fresh asparagus. On the palate it's fruitier than the nose suggested, very active sherry cask influence. More textural than you'd expect, almost like mint tea mixed with those old cough mixtures grandad used to have. There's pine cones and olive oil too, making it feel fattier in the mouth. The finish is where it really shines – gloopy hardwood resins and hessian, very concentrated. Develops into a sleek waxiness, those polished hardwoods coming through. Becomes weightier and more polished as it sits. Crystalised tropical fruits and dried citrus peel linger. Waxes on and on, much longer than you'd anticipate. Really something, better with every sip. 😌
