“Surprising Cask Strength Savanna from plantation. Intense cocoa, grapefruit, lots of wood and salted caramel, astringent and tannic. Then in the finish some typical menthol and overripe strawberry.”

“Woody, rough, alcoholic, astringent and pungent. Not my thing at all. It's still a bit fruity, with a grapefruit-like bitterness. But I don't like it.”
