Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Tasted: Sept 2011
A seriously stunning nose! Subtle, yet deep and seriously polished. Gently spiced dried fruit is shot through with the most luxuriously lazy mature honey aromas imaginable, followed by yet more sweet spices and a slight menthol note. Very full but wonderfully balanced by some vibrant citrus notes.
Sumptuously smooth and mature on the palate. Seriously mouth-filling, liquid mature honey mingles with raisins, dried grape and hints of died coriander and cinnamon. There is a brief but intense mouth-watering middle before loads of sweet almond and vanilla notes arrive. Poised and balanced with a slight bitterness from the oak and hints of coffee/ hickory. Incredibly long with the sweet spices returning.
