78
- Nose
- Big, upfront with masses of vanilla overlaying the inevitable spiciness. Huge, sweet and powerful. Picks up an almost dried fruit depth in time. With water a scented dustiness gives it a lift.
- Palate
- Grainy texture. Heat and oaky grip. Cherryade but the aromatic edge carries through well. Zesty.
- Finish
- Good length. Oaky.
- Comment
- Not exactly subtle, but has a certain bruising charm.
85
- Nose
- Rich, deep, Christmas cake, wood polish, sandalwood.
- Palate
- Big hit of oak and spice, prunes, dark chocolate and oak. Then more wood.
- Finish
- Long, dry and spicy. Oh, and did I mention the oak?
- Comment
- Not for the fainthearted. For the Kill Bill, vindaloo and extreme wrestling person in your life.
