"Nose is rather flat… is this the one with sherry finish..?! 🤔Taste is dominating sweet… some wood… alcohol not perfectly integrated. I don’t get Caroni associations here tbh."

"In the nose green apple, but not so tangy fresh but rather quince. A slight soapiness. Metallic. Slightly cookie dough. And vanilla with a hint of lemon balm. Strong attack on the palate, a wave of flavors you can't keep up with. And then it's all over again. Spicy sweet, licorice. Lovage remains. Balanced overall."
