Colour: pale white wine.
Nose: powerful, with much less sherry if any, but again a rather huge oiliness and something like manure or horse dung at first nosing. Farmy, definitely, I’m wondering if there isn’t a little peat. Hints of coffee, bread crust and crumb (well, bread), smoked tea. Not really clean, but nicer than the young OB’s. Hints of lamp petrol and paraffin.
Mouth: sweet, really punchy, starting on lots of pear, gooseberries and apples.
Finish: Long but spirity finish, again on raw fruit spirit, with just something bitter.
