“Interesting drop, not here, nor there, obviously, but overall a nice bouquet of fruity esters, brine, olives and cucumber. The palate is more on the dry vanilla wooden caramelised side, accompanied by fruity esters. There are also a lot of tannins, but just at the right level. Some time in the glass also brought additional nuances. So don’t rush things, you will be rewarded. Thanks to Olivia for the split.”

“Nase: Blutorange und Klebstoff? Ein bisschen riecht man das Fass, ein bisschen zwickt auch der Alkohol in der Nase, wenn man den Rüssel zu tief ins Glas hält. Nach einer Weile noch eine leicht modrige Note. Am Gaumen fühlt man förmlich das Battle des holzig-fruchtigen LP und des Ananas-esterigen HD. Keiner hat die Oberhand. Es bleibt beim Unentschieden. Kann man dann als gelungenen Blend betrachten?! Das Ergebnis ist recht gefällig, obwohl ich den Verdacht habe, den 2014er HD hätte ich lieber pur im Glas gehabt.”
