„At the palate and during the finish it’s perfectly alright, but the nose is very unpleasant. The price is very way too high, but I found my bottles at an Spanish webshop to the third of the normal price which make it price worthy for me.“

„Contrary to the other comments I have read, I find it a bit "light" on the nose, but it is still very pleasant. Also in the mouth where the aromas are powerful and very good. Average length.“

„Has something muted, herbal on the nose. Not fresh but rather rooty. And something artificial metallic. Horizon a touch of iodine. In the mouth without air somehow musty stale. With oxygen then comes immediately bitter salty green, green tea. In the finish remains a little bitter green tea. Interesting flavor development, but not quite my cup of tea.“
