:
Refill American oak, virgin tawny port, and red muscat seasoned
Nose: Hints of cherries and almonds to start, followed by touches of nougat, sultanas, cranberries and stewed pears. Also a touch of oats, warm apple sauce, honey and bay leaf. It’s a bit shy overall, but water certainly opens things up.
Taste: Quite spicy with touches of ginger, cloves and cracked black peppercorns. Also charred oak, but then plenty of wine-y sweetness too. Think winegums, cherry marmalade and mead. Water brings out breakfast cereals and tames the spices.
Finish: A touch of sultanas with lingering, warming spices.
CONCLUSION
Not a rousing success and I’m not entirely sure what to make of this no-age-statement NAS. I will say this: I find it hard to believe the secondary maturation in port and wine casks have significantly improved the original liquid.
