Nose: A bold and nutty nose with pronounced vanilla. Strong oak presence, marked by pencil shavings and clean, dry woodiness.

Taste: Full bodied, rich and creamy. The vanilla and nutty profile dominates once more, joined by a vibrant hit of white pepper.

Finish: Medium to long finish. Drying towards the end, with lingering sweetness gradually giving way to a mildly bitter oak-driven note.

Comment: Nutty core and oaky grip.

Score 86/100
