Amrut Portonova

Amrut Portonova, NAS, 48 %

This is the Travel Retail version of the Amrut Portonova, where the ABV is taken down to 48 % ABV. It has been matured in ex-bourbon, port pipe and again ex-bourbon cask.

Nose: Cool and earthy. Rhubarb in a dunnage warehouse. Vanilla and soft oakiness. With time deeper notes of sweetness. Cinnamon, pepper, nuts, coffee and leather.

Taste: Medium body. Quite dry in character. Again rhubarb, and again earthy notes. Rather green - hay and dried herbs. Sweet, dry wine.

Finish: Medium long finish. Orchard fruits. Still rather dry. I pick up more and more green notes now - cut grass, menthol and eucalyptus.

Comment: A green explosion. Sustainable!

Score 87/100
