CYWL Tamnavulin 2011 / 13yo / moscatel port pipe

Nose: Soft and slightly sulky at first, like it’s still waking up. Give it a minute and it’s all apricot Danish, ginger snaps and the kind of orange marmalade that only appears in posh breakfast hampers. Palate: Silky, warming and just a bit indulgent. Honeyed cheerios, candied citrus and a flick of baking spice. There’s a quiet hum of Moscatel doing its sweet thing in the background, like a nonchalant late comer to a party - effortlessly cool and somehow expecting a thank you for turning up. Finish: Hangs around like it forgot why it came into the room. Sweet oak settles in, followed by a lazy lick of wine gums that feels more accidental than intentional. Not trying to impress, just happy to be here.
