Tasting the tail end of the bottle. We picked this up when we visited the distillery in 2005, so it’s been open for a while.
Nose: Varnished oak. Spice and chocolate.
Palate: Port. Now there’s a surprise. Woody, but pleasantly so. Spice and dust, like an old spice chest. Dark chocolate.
Conclusion: One of the best wine finishes I’ve tasted. It doesn’t wow me, though, but it’s “eminently quaffable”, just like it says on the label (fact).
Score: 6.5 out of 10
