98 International Wine & Spirit Competition - International Wine & Spirit Competition

Beautifully appealing on the nose as toffee apples, cinnamon, chocolate and nuts shine. Enjoyably integrated on the palate as notes of cereal, vanilla, tea and golden syrup interlace with fresh menthol on a journey towards a bold, lingering finish.

Smells of sweet corn, buttered popcorn and pistachio nuts in the early stages; later whiffs pick up well-endowed scents of sauteed butter, oaky vanilla, beeswax and linseed oil. Palate entry is full-bodied, sweet and honeyed; at midpalate the taste profile turns drier, more intensely grainy-mashy and breakfast cereal-like. Finishes with notes of nougat, almonds, candy bar, and oak. Best Buy.
