Tasting Notes
Spicy, roasted new wood, plus piquant mineral-spicy undertones and some yeast. Soft at the start, then with some breadth and fullness, and a late, restrained acidity, lots of juiciness, good extract density, still very young, certain ageing potential for great elegance and mineral-spicy development.
