The Baron, Knickersby. Heavily lacing tawny amber with a thick chunky collar. Chew of dried sultana and apricot aroma, some jam sweetness and metal. More apricot and creamy fig in the mouth, balanced with wet dough, biscuit, hazelnut, slight ash, chocolate, some chick pea and warming booze. Easily the best of the Langton lot I’ve tried. Sourish, a little earthy and balsamic. Clean, balanced and good.
