WORM TUB MAGIC 2007 ARTIST #13 AGED 15 YEARS SMWS 85.89

Nose : Refined yet full. Gorgeous notes of beeswax, dried apricot and toffee light up the first nose. Allowed to breathe, the fruit takes on exoticism (mango, persimmon) and noble spices (ginger, cinnamon). The aroma palette becomes increasingly smooth with honey, lime blossom and lavender.

Appearance : Vieil or.

Palate : Unctuous, elegant. On the attack, salted butter caramel flavours envelop the taste buds. Dried fruit and nuts (almond, walnut, fig) then dominate the mid-palate. The vanilla and milky (coconut) end of the palate is deliciously lemony.

Overall : Long, serene. The rich start of the finish reveals notes of candied citrus fruits (orange, mandarin) and quince jelly. The heady (lilac, hyacinth, carnation) and very delicate after-taste (rice powder, grated ginger) culminates in a chocolatey and woody (sandalwood, eucalyptus) finish.
