Amber coloured Barley Wine laden with bronze glints.

On the nose, straight away the bouquet has impact, intensity and complexity with notes of both candied and alcohol-soaked fruit, dried figs, fresh tobacco and chocolate, while a caramel sensation is perceived but remains in the background.

In the mouth, the initial sensation is of incredible density and softness, a silky warmth accompanying memories of bitter orange marmalade, dried fruit and chestnut honey. The finale provides a refreshing, slightly sharp hint that adds harmony and balance.

It can also be stored in the wine cellar to taste its evolution over time.

Årgång 2021. Flaska #01929. Rödbrun med ett litet skum. Söt doft med kola, lite lakrits och alkoholångor. Söt och eldig smak med kola och russin. God att smutta på.
