"8,8:On the nose, the first notes are dried fruits, then out of nowhere arise tropical fruits with passion fruit leading the gang. It is very round. Nuttiness is around later, when aired, with some medicinal notes, grapes/sweet wine, sherry notes, becomes spicy, roasted, dry. Agricole notes with some smokiness are here now, with leathery/tobacco after well rested. 8,6:On the palate, we cannot miss agricole, volcanique pedigree and spiciness that we are hold on, dried fruits come out of this first agricole/spicy cloudy skies, are juicy with nice grapes and red fruits. They are sweet like very fine sweet wine. Roastedness comes by to say hello with smokiness and some drieness, bitterness and orange peel and is still very round. Tropical fruits are here, but a bit hidden. Well confectionery has been waiting till the end to show up and nougat! 9:The finish is very long, a bit sweet, agricole notes stay. It becomes creamy, buttery and toasted with tropical/dried fruits, with minimal drieness."

"Er braucht seine Zeit im Glas. Nase: Aprikose, Himbeere, Brombeere, Leder, Schokolade, Honig, trotzdem etwas scharf Gaumen: Rote und schwarze Beeren, Himbeere etwas dominierend, Milchschokolade, Vanille des Holz welches sich zunehmend in den Vordergrund drängt und dann von den Himbeeren wieder abgelöst wird. Die Schärfe ist leider auch im Gaumen leicht vorhanden. Alles in Allem aber ein guter Schluck"
