Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 9, 2013 - No bottling date given but clearly bottled very recently, probably 2013 or 2012 at the earliest. 19% ABV. Intense amber colour, not unlike a 30 year old tawny; the nose is relatively restrained and slightly woody (not unlike a good Scotch), but opens up well after a few days and displays aromas of toasted nuts, candied fruit and molasses, fresh and with good depth; on the palate medium sweet, intense, compact and clean, with lovely acidity, well-balanced, savoury, coffee flavour, hint of fudge; excellent length, hint of heat. A good 10 YO, fine QPR at € 18 and a far cry from the old fashioned, cooked and caramelly style of yore.
