Dark brown. Initial alcoholic nose blows off quickly. Wonderful light spice panoply; obvious long wood aging, smell of cedar; nose settles down to add clove and lanolin overtones. Very sweet with molasses and apricots predominating, plus cedar, spice and cognac highlights. Long finish with herbs, a little chalk and excellent acidity. 18+/20. Might have scored even higher if not paired with the 1868 Lomelino Very Old Boal EBH. (10/09)
