Golden straw. Rich and nutty bouquet of marzipan, yellow flowers, apple syrup, brioche, baking spice and graham. A bit of aldehyde and oxidation, but I'm not finding premox, just a mature white burg without much spine. Moderate acidity (honestly expected less!), soft, honeyed oak impact yet good persistence, maybe a touch bitter. The concentration is high and the overall impression is rich and mature: flavors of cookie dough, pineapple brulee, burdock amd ginger, treacle, lemon marmalade and bruised apple. Drink up!

Amazing nose that went on and on. Earth, flowers, pears, and a light toasty oak. Thank you Steve!

Lovely scents of minerals, honey, flowers, pears, toasty oak. Don't mind just sniffing this all night!
