"Gut trinkbarer GA lecker Fruchtig Floral , relativ neutral was den Port angeht was mir gut gefällt... leider etwas schwach dadurch eher ein daily (wenn man genug hat 😅) Wer ihn zu einem Fairen Kurs erwischt macht nicht verkehrt."

"Ein sehr interessanter Savanna GA… die leichte ABV stört hier erstaunlicherweise nicht. Es sind genügend Aromen vorhanden , die das Geschmacksprofil tragen. Für mich kommt hier jedoch das Portwein-Finish zu stark durch, besonders im Abgang."
