“REV in brute - the fruitiness recedes somewhat into the background, but the powerful presence comes to the fore a little more strongly. The alcohol is well integrated, the profile is great fun - excellent.”

“Impressive Guyana profile with impressively deep plum fruit and leather en masse. The alcohol is very present, unfortunately a bit too present; apart from that, absolute top class.”
