A worthy addition to HSE's long line of fine vintages, this 2003 single cask has had special attention lavished upon it by our cellar master in order to bring you a new balance between strength, roundness and aromatic complexity. Each bottled batch has been carefully selected from a single 400 litres French oak barrel, identified by the double numbering of the bottles.MASTER TASTERS NOTEThe nose opens up to an explosion of aromas where the empyreumatic notes of cacao, coffee and Virginia tobacco blend with a fruity universe of prunes, quinces and cooked fruit. The round, generous mouth offers a gentle, elegant attack before extending into a long, fruity and delicately spiced finish.
