Taste is light with salty mineral and honey note, some acidity from citrus, quite clean and pleasant. Aftertaste of similar notes from taste with quite long grapefruit like acidity and zest, and a bit warmth. She is above average. — a day ago

Aftertaste sees the coming back of white pepper, grapefruit zest, soft tannins, and slow fade-away of the taste. Well done. — 7 days ago

9.2

Color of dark purpled, almost opaque. Nose of ripe blueberries or ripe cherry, chocolate, and more black rum raisin note. Taste is sweet dressed with some spice, reminds me of rum raisin cherry ice cream fro haggen daz, nice oak and more cherry, juicy grapes, milk chocolate, port like mouthfeel, low tannins and strength of alcohol. Aftertaste does show some tannins to balance out the sweetness. Too sweet for me but a crowd pleaser for sure. — 8 days ago
