| Bouquet | Toffee, fudge, candy, raisin and dried fruit and a little grubby in the nose. | Score range | 16.25 - 16.25 |
| Taste | Medium body. Mature and even a little old on taste but balanced and still rather complex. Cream candy, toffee and grubby in taste with a nice and quite attractive finish. Easy to drink and like but but has probably been better. | Average score | |
