Superb old gold colour, deep.
Intense complex aromas with very much candied notes of apricot, orange, wax, pears in alcohol, lightly smoked, cigar. The aromas are not yet stable, evolving all the time.
Rich, nice fruity candied aroma. Very gently matured, massive, with a feeling of wood at the end.
Remarkable balance. Very long.
Keep for further aging in order to tame the oak. (Tasting june 2003)
