Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose Restrained and light on the nose with delicate floral touches and hints of red cherries and white pepper.
Palate Dry and light to medium bodied. Good balancing acidity and firm, dusty tannins add structure. The fruit comes along slowly with red cherry, smoke and leather notes. Simple but enjoyable.

Jancis Robinson 15.5/20. ‘Rich, dark and savoury and seems rather oaky on the nose – spice and a touch of coffee. Very firm on the palate, I think the tannins may outlast the fruit. I wouldn’t want to drink this without food as it is a bit tough on its own.’
