Tasting Notes
Nose: Cream, vanilla, smoke is almost too faint to be perceptible. Sweet oranges, white peaches, rose petals and forest berries- lightness and tartness that doesn?t really bring a typical Johnnie to mind.
Palate: Thick and rich, coating the tongue with buttery honey and marmalade. The wine makes its presence known towards the middle with flavours of raspberries and sweet cherries. The middle notes have a slight green apple tartness that seems a little out of place, but it passes very quickly. There is also a strong element of peaches, vanilla and cream that mellow the flavour towards the end.
Finish: Vanilla, cereal and pine, with some light spiciness and wood flavours to finish. Of medium length.
