Tasting Notes
Sweet cherry, bitter almond, plum and a hint of mint on the nose which is multi-layered, fresh and elegant. This elegance carries through to the palate, which impresses with its chalky and herbal-spicy taste. Its true ageing potential is only just beginning to emerge - this is outstanding and needs a lot of time.
