Individual judge’s scores: Stephen Brook 18, Gearoid Devaney MS 16 and Steven Spurrier 17.
Rich and assertive. A bold style with a lot of presence. Rich honey and dried herb nose and lots of citrussy summer fruits. Palate is dry and textured but needs a year or two to settle down. It’s rewarding to find such power not being allied to high alcohol.
