After five years in an ex-bourbon barrel we transferred this into a first fill cosecha wine barrique. The nose suggested orange peel shavings floating in a glass of rum on a French-polished table, while liquorice and clove shadows flitted round the reflective surface. The palate had a mouth-coating, oily texture and flavours of lychee and blood orange, with some weightier umbrations of treacle, molasses and burnt orange skins. The reduced nose teased us with honey on buttered scones, lemon curd and orange blossom. The palate now had vanilla custard, pink lemonade, hazelnut pralines and a finish reminiscent of mead.
