Nose: Prunes, cloves and cinnamon, lovely wood backbone integration, mole tamale, ginger, touches of umami, star gazer lilly, almond croissants, muscovado sugar, black walnut bitters, peach black tea, anise seeds.

Palate: Green olive tapenade, cherry cordial, kookaburra black licorice, finish ends in a heavy woodiness and pretty herbal place

Rating: 6 / 10 – the nose is truly spectacular. The palate has been hit by the tannin sticks and doesn’t bring through all the fruits promised by the nose.
