Definitely getting the red wine influence. Red berrys, toffee and a blast of alchohol. Not sure if the balance is all there. Won't rate as the MoM sample was cracked and had leaked so probably not a fair representation of the dram. Still not a bad drop.
Gorgeous nose (milk chocolate) and a very complex and great palate. The red berries finish is spicy and dry with the latter taking too much control. 23-23-22-21=89
Woah! This was a neck pour so going to wait a while to do a full review but this is good.
Lots of fruit, full bodied, and very drying mouthfeel.
spicy, banana/fruit, long
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
