    15.02.2023 Relaxing at home with some samples. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Medium intense, light wood, light roasted, light anise, berries, faint coconut, fruity. Palate Fresh, balanced, light wood, oily, anise, berries, spice, light nutty, light citrus, faint caramel, faint coffee. Finish Medium long, light wood, faint earthy, light marzipan, berries, faint chocolate, light caramel.

    NOSE: russet apple, wood glue, pastry crust, sweet oak, leaf duff. PALATE: overripe fruits, rotten apple, light honey, elderflower. FINISH: sweet oak, crème brûlée, more rotten apple, autumn leaves, custard, yogurt & sweet fruits, grape, cardamon. OVERALL: drinks much lighter than some other tropically-aged Long Pond- though some similar elements are there. The dominant note is an overripe apple, rotting on the orchard floor. I like it. The fruit notes play well off the drier wood tannins & caramel. RATING: 74/100
