Tasting Notes

Already deep coppery golden, toasty, really quite sweet and very nicely balanced and appetisingly middle aged.

Score: 18

Healthy pale color. Ethereal, highly complex nose combines floral and herbal scents with notes of pineapple, marzipan, mint and spicy oak. Moderately viscous, sweet and shapely; concentrated and fresh. Like the '97, this is silky and suave. The very long, ripe finish hints at honey and caramel.

Score: 91
