"Similar in appearance to the '24 but the nose develops greater intensity with notes of sandalwood, ginger, cigar box, a faint hint of Clementine and a nuttiness that gathers pace the longer it remains in glass. The palate is full-bodied with more tannic structure than the '24, still beautifully defined with notes of manuka honey, liquorice, orange peel, fig and raisin. Like the '24 is has a beguiling, sensuality to it, slightly unctuous towards the finish that leaves the tongue tingling with pleasure. Immense length, this Taylor's undoubtedly lives up to its reputation."
