Schönes Ding, bei dem sich Röstaromen und Fruchtaromen die Klinke in die Hand geben und das begleitet von einer Band, die im Hintergrund leichten Funk spielt. Gefällt mir gut, aber der Preis wird auch wieder gaga sein, oder?! (hab noch nicht geschaut. Jetzt hab ich geschaut, und für den Preis sag ich auch...) 86/100 oder 6/10
Sehr runde Nase, die mir gut gefällt. Toffee, Schokolade, gute Ladung Früchte, Vanille, Röstaromen, nussig. Im Mund lecker und mit natürlicher Süß, die sich im Abgang weiterzieht und in ein komplexes Bild mündet. Schokolade, Tee, Vanille, Holz. Top!
Kommt in der Nase tatsächlich leichter, aber chemischer daher als der AHJ. Zitrusfrüchte statt überreifem Matsch. Je Luft, desto Nagellack. Überraus süß am Gaumen, dunkle Noten bis hin zu Nuss - bevor es dann wirklich in Richtung Nagellack & Co. geht. Sehr spannend, sehr vielschichtig.
Bold body, buttercotch, pale banana, vanilla, hints of other dried tropical fruits.
