Tasting Notes by chrisrbarrett

Nose slightly buttery with more spice and tannin as it opens up. Warming. Flavours are quite subtle with one single long green note then moving to fresh oak flavours and finishing with a little bit of boozy kick. The peat note reminds me more of moss. Lightly spicy finish of medium length.
