Château D’yquem Sauternes Cask Finish

NOSE:  Hint of charred oak but not powerful oak.

PALATE: Gentle but unavoidable peat smoke, but there is so much more than that in this dram. Sweet, juicy stone fruits of peach and nectarine fill the mouth.

FINISH: A rollercoaster of flavours which combines all the fruitiness of the pallet with that incredible cask. Quite simply sumptuous.   Only 305 bottles were produced.
