Oxer Kalamity is incredibly bold with a full array of flavours, enormous length and minerality. The nose goes from soft black forest fruit to animal notes, violet florals and spice. The full-bodied palate exudes black cherry, blackberry and raspberry fruit flavours before revealing its mineral backbone and hints of pink pepper spice. Will develop its complexity in the coming years so this is one to keep!
Fun Fact: The name and label expresses Oxer’s love for Shakespeare. "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it" comes from the play "The Reign of King Edward the Third".
Ageing potential: Keep until 2030!
