.
Nose: Milk chocolate, cereals, citrus, orange peels, apples, roses, peaches and some vanilla. (22/25)
.
Palate: Toffee, malty, dried candied fruits, ginger, pineapples, citrons, lemons and cherries. (23/25)
.
Finish: Long. More gingerly, freshness of orange peels from the nose lingering to the end with nutmeg and pepper after taste. (22/25)
.
Overall: Very fine but not excellent, perhaps not quite the same implausible fruitiness that’s to be found in slightly earlier vintages. (21/25)
