Nose - Dark dried syrupy stone fruits, syrupy sweet raisins/prunes, toffee, candied ginger, hint of orange (w/ water) Same, but has this extra effervescence vibe like sparkling mineral water Taste - Sweet dark raisins/prunes, chocolate, toffee, ginger heat/tingle, chocolate covered candied ginger/orange peels, touch of salt (w/ water) Softens the initial heat, but just delays it until the end, still quite sweet, not as syrupy mouthfeel, but otherwise the same Finish - Lingering heat, dark syrupy sweetness of raisins/prunes lingers, wisp of orange (w/ water) Same Score - 83/100 Final Thoughts - This one definitely screamed sweet PX finish/maturation as it was dark syrupy raisins/prunes from start to finish. Sadly it was a bit on the sweet side & felt like a dessert pour that would be best enjoyed with some super dark, bitter chocolate to help tame the sweetness a bit. It handled water quite well in that the flavors didn't drastically change, but it still remained quite sweet. This is tasty, but I think I'd reserve this for a dessert pour versus something I'd reach for regularly. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - No NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

A little hot, but strong raisiny flavor. A tad sweet, but easy drinking.
