88 / 100
The strongest pull is the contrast between the fruit and the drier, more savoury edges. Peach, cherry and sugary citrus sit alongside salty brine and herbal sherry on the nose, while the palate turns to figs, burnt sugar, light peat and earthy oak. Pepper carries through to a long, drying finish. That balance gives this a thoughtful, slightly rugged character.
