Let's Taste It :
The nose is predominantly woody, with a little less fruit than usual, although it is there: apricots, quinces, ripe grapes, yellow plums, some dried fruits also, soft caramel. Fine dust, good fullness. Very silky on the palate, figs and dates, very present spices, pepper and cloves, blackberries, melted chocolate. Very long finish, earth, prunes, and a slight smokiness on the aftertaste, which is astonishing. Ferns, humus, but above all more wood, slightly damp.
In Short,
A Linkwood that's a little off the mark, there's some fruits, but it's a long way from the usual basket of flavours, it's very well done though, and fans will be happy with it. The price is excessive nonetheless.
Score : 88
