The nose is all peat and malt, turning to wild strawberries and nectarine honey. Becomes increasingly haunting with air. Damp earth then creeps in. A taste like vanilla ice. Rose petals and rose water. Great delicacy, which (almost) masks the power. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 97 5545:12 bts (2 oc) 5546:12 bts (2 oc) 5547:12 bts (2 oc) 5548:12 bts (2 oc)Estimates are per lot
