An autumn vineyard walk

A fruity, interesting nose; first we imagined walking through autumn vineyards, then we found toffee apples, sugared plums, fruit cake and boozy trifle. The palate had both creamy (yoghurt bar) and tart elements (pineapple jelly, dried strawberries, apricot jam and citrus), before finishing with cinnamon, fig and damson stones. The reduced nose included honey and spun sugar, grape must and orange zest, polished shoes and perfumed candles. The palate offered unripe pear, lime, apricot and monstera, while a hint of soap made the finish dry, clean and perfumed. After 12 years in ex-bourbon wood, this enjoyed further time in a second fill cosecha PX barrique.
