Nose:
Coconut, orange marmalade, blueberry, raspberry. Vanilla bean. Syrupy fruits. Tobacco. Really unique.
-
Taste:
Toffee, sulfur, tobacco. Musty, rich with oak. Mild heat, but thick mouth feel. Syrupy, nutty and loaded with toffee, almonds, raspberry, figs and blackberry.
-
Finish:
Long, rich and powerful. A bit hot in the finish. Lots of sulfur, tobacco and almond here. Not as much fruit. More bitter sulfur, with some well integrated oak.
-
Overall:
Excellent up until the finish. A bit hot, a bit try, a bit heavy on the sulfur. Otherwise it is phenomenal. Unfortunately the finish brings it down a bit,
