" Big, massive nose rendolent with maturity and ripe fruit. Deep and well rounded mouth again steeped in maturity. Vanilla, oak, spice and crusty pastry. Full, deep, well rounded, mature mouth with flavours as the nose had advertised with toffee apple, rich fudge, toasted almonds and twist of smoke. Rich fruit cake appears with raisins, dried apricot, ripe mango and prune. For a 40 year old it still has good vigour in long, sustained finish. "
