A more elegant and spicier nose reflects notes of poached plum, violet and crushed anise. As is almost always the case, the middleweight flavours are both more refined and more mineral-driven if less powerful and muscular, all wrapped in an equally austere finale where the only nit is a touch of warmth. 90 Allen Meadows, Burghound (2024).
