Mild peaty, dates, spicy with strength, a bit zesty, and hint if sweetness. Very straightforward and easy to savor. The c/p value is high, and I will have her every night. — 10 days ago

9.4

Deep color of purple, looking thick, with some ruby tone. Nose of peach, raspberry, some medicinal spice, hotness from alcohol, anise, and cinnamon. Taste is similar with cinnamon note standing out, some berries note, warm, quite smooth, peppery, some leafy tobacco note, just a touch of vanilla sweetness. Aftertaste is proper with some nice white pepper note, residual sweetness, low in tannins, and some more berry note. I ponder why her score is not higher, as she is a beauty to enjoy. — a month ago

Color of clear yet deep ruby. Nose of dark fruit like ripe cherry, some leathers, a touch of cocoa, and powerful alcohol. Taste of racy acidity, good amount of dark fruit, not much tannins but good hotness from alcohol, some peppery note, and bitter sulfate. Aftertaste is dominated by some bitter note. Enjoy now, as she is quite at her peak. — 2 months ago

9.2

Nose of ripe tropical fruit, like mango, apple, a bit of pineapple, and actually quite nutty. Taste is similar to off dry Chardonnay with creamy nutty flavors. Flavors like apple, tinkling Sprite , citrus peel is very refreshing. There is no doubt that I will mistake her as a pleasant Chardonnay if I don't see her color. Very easy to savor and tasty. — 10 days ago

9.4

Nose of sweet aldehyde, caramel, hotness in nasal cavity, spice, and woody fragrance. Taste is spicy yet gentle on the tongue. Taste of ripe apple, pineapple, grassy mint, creamy caramel, nutmeg, and some citrus peel on the rim of the tongue. Aftertaste is long and savory. I surely believe the smoothness is from the balance between spice and sweetness. — 12 days ago

9.2

Nice color of bubbly gold. Nose of vivid flowering note, quality green apple, honey, and hint of spice. Nose is simple with big elements. Taste of similar notes like nose. Once again nice sweet honey and flowering note that is perfect for the hot summer, green apple, zesty citrus and citrus peel, the spice and hotness is hidden well and comes very late. Aftertaste is medium long with nice citrus flavor on the tongue. She is definitely a good one to go day after day in summer. — a month ago

Color is light caramel. Nose is quite sweet with aldehyde, caramel, crayon, and hotness strength. Taste is very smooth considering she is just 12 yr old. Nice creamy milk like flavor, wood chips, dried fruits, honey, and flowering note. Really impressed by the flowering and honey note. Aftertaste of warmth, some apple, dried fruit, and more flowering note. A must try 12 yr old. — 11 days ago

9.4

Nose of seducing peaty fragrance, dates, and smoke. Taste is power and concentrated, with dried figs, a bit citrus peel, dried, a bit menthol, more peat and smoke, spicy and bittersweet on the rim of the tongue. Aftertaste is long with nice pleasant bitter note, like refreshing your tongue with breeze. Overall she is dense and long finished. She is tasty yet not sweet, she is powerful yet smooth, and she is peaty yet not overwhelming with this characteristic. — 13 days ago

Very smooth with some zest and spice note. The only drawback is that she is indeed too smooth! — a month ago

9.6

Color of very concentrate honey. Powerful nose of aldehyde, nice oak, sweet apple, sweet vanilla note, and hot alcohol in the nasal cavity. Very pleasant. Taste wise is also a beauty. Dense burnt creme purée, dense caramel note, ripe pineapples and apples, dried fruits, a touch of mint, and then oak note surfaces. Aftertaste is long with some more tea and zesty bite. She is concentrated yet smooth, powerful yet velvety. The power of 90 proof only shows up much later. Well done. Batch 7, bottle 7046. — 2 months ago
