Here's a big fella that needs to be tamed.
Handfuls of fruit lie ready to be engaged. It's generous, mouth filling and boisterous. Blue and purple fruits and plums are prominent with clove, sandalwood and caramel from the oak. The 20 months in French and American oak has certainly played its part, maybe overly so. Christmas cake spices tick along with but there is some fruit sweetness and caramel which I find a little distracting. Perhaps more time needed in bottle before tucking in?
