Incredibly interesting if not a bit rustic and weird - I guess 12 years in Qveri will do that. Totally worth trying if you can hunt it down!!

Whoa. 12 years sealed. Butterscotch with an earthiness you won't see anywhere else. Pushing boundaries and I like it πŸ‘ŠπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Nose and palate reminiscent of grappa, minus the heat. But a bit straight forward for being in quevry for 12 years.

Wow- this is old! and yet it’s still fully intact. No longer bright or fruity, but resinous and saline; plum, Turkish delight, dark Turkish dried apricot, medium tannins, very slight acetone.

Deep rusty amber. Resinous, dried apricot, honey. Quite saline, nice acid. Not overly tannic. Such a trip.
