"06.2024 Erster Eindruck: fruchtig, traubig, rotgoldene Farbe Nase: die Rotwein-Aromen sind präsenter als die vom Rum Gaumen: jetzt beißen die 51% zuerst zu, die Rotweinnoten pelzen gegen den Rum, leider schmecke ich wenig dazwischen Abgang: mittellang, Holz Gesamteindruck: den hatte ich aromatischer und fruchtiger in Erinnerung, führt heute Abend zu einer Abwertung von 7,0 auf 6,7 – schade 2022 Die Nase verspricht etwas anderes als der Geschmack hält, die 51,5% machen sich im Abgang bemerkbar"
"quite ok but unfortunately does not come to the old SCC bottlings, I like the daring PX Cask better because it is for me more coherent"
"Insgesamt ein Easy Sipper, der durch das Rotwein-Finish interessante Aromen bekommt, aber auch nicht herausragt. Für die Nerds ist das nichts, für Einsteiger aber sicherlich eine interessante Erfahrung – vor allem durch die 40 Euro."
"This rum immediately reminds me of honey with fruit on the nose and especially because of the grapey notes of a wine finish (Sauternes or Sherry). Vanilla and chocolate also present. In the mouth sweet honey, spices and alcoholic spiciness. Unfortunately, that's about it, as the whole mouthfeel including the finish is rather thin. The wine is always present."
