Nose: Earthy sweetness, with rhubarb and the unmistakable character of a damp dirt cellar. With time, a faint hint of funkiness emerges, accompanied by a touch of tropical fruits. An intriguing combination of earthy and fruity notes.
Taste: Full bodied. Rich and moderately sweet, with ripe orchard fruits taking centre stage. The fruitiness is deep and luscious, providing a softer, more approachable contrast to the earthy nose.
Finish: Medium long. Rich, sweet licorice mingles with toasted oak, bringing a darker and slightly woody character. A gentle minerality emerges towards the end, adding an interesting twist to the lingering sweetness.
Comment: Earthy funk meets luscious fruit.
