Nose: The earthy notes of a dunnage warehouse. Wet leaves, grape juice and .. Autumn. With time more citrus as well as caramel, honey and spices.

Taste:  Full bodied with a rather spicy profile. Comes across as fairly dry. The fruitiness from the nose is here, then it’s gone.

Finish: Medium long finish. Dry and a little oaky. Caramel and honey, with mild spices and orchard fruits in the background. Out-chewed chewing gum in the end.

Comment: Not really sold on this particular wine cask selection.
