Mezan Dominican Republic 2012 (10 year old) 46%
Tasting Note
Dist: 2013 Btl: 2023
Tasted: Sept 2023
A fresh, almost mineral nose with a lovely depth of juicy tropical fruit, cantaloupe melon, lemon, greengage, apricot and under ripe banana. Subtle toasty and creamy oak appears along with hints of vanilla and grilled nuts. Good depth and richness.
The palate is juicy, succulent and suitably well endowed with tropical banana, melon, apricot, coconut and lime. Like the nose, the oak is pleasantly toasty and adds vanilla and grilled nuts. Subtle column still dried fruit notes come through on the middle adding apple and sultana. Lovely balance and length with a juicy, chewy dried fruit and oak finish.
