| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Immense raisin overload in here. Christmas cake, raisin, raisin, raisin, sliightly sweet sourly. So dominant. Some pleasant dark sugary notes below the raisin bomb-mat. Attractive nose, perhaps one-dimensional at first but I really don't care. I'd say the taste has more depth. Lots of raisin and fat sherry influence. And then something difficult to describe, OBE? And pleasantly so without any hint of sulphur or off-note. Hm, really so massive on clean christmasy notes. Perhaps some hint of spent matches in the aftertaste, but it doesn't disturb. |
