    "Nase sehr Blumig mit Kräutern und rotem Pfeffer . Frucht würde ich hier bei Kirschen Grüner Apfel und Papaya ansiedeln. Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol zusammen mit den Pfeffrigen Notes sehr präsent und sticht leicht . Ich schmecke zusätzlich etwas in Richtung Kardamom leicht seifig bitter . Fruchtigkeit am Gaumen sehr wenig.... Nicht schlecht aber nicht das Profil was ich von Savanna gerne mag ."

    "#4164 A very nice profile. Spicy and warm with some fruit and minty notes. The palate is dry and wonderfully warm."

    "Delightful nose! Dark, toasty and intense. Nice and spicy on the palate. But the finish is unfortunately a bit too peppery and flat."

    "Very peppery intense savanna. Almost something of a colorful pepper mixture, plus some citrus jam and caramel. Beautiful part but not a complexity monster!"
