Nose

Shy at first despite its strength, but opens with gentle spice, lemon and ginger cordial. Red fruits and currants, then pine sap and eucalyptus with water.

Palate

A powerful blast of hot rubber tyre and quite leathery to taste at full strength. Salted caramel, chocolate and diluted blackcurrant.

Finish

A fiery start followed by a bitter finish.

Comment

I like the nose but the palate was too extreme.
