"The nose hints at alcohol and tar. The palate is a killer, with burnt caramel, dry asphalt, dried candied fruits, peppery spices, the roasted aspect and the tar return and give a strong, long feeling... The finish is long, with candied vanilla, tar and peppery spices, plus sweet baked fruit on raisins..." - 8.5/10
