Superb (90-95 Points) Highly Recommended, Wine Enthusiast – “Toasty and malty on first sniffing; exposure to air brings the piquant spirit alive, but it doesnt overshadow the toasty malt. On the final pass a trace of sherry emerges. First taste is sassy, oily and spirity; midpalate is very oily, sleek and rife with bittersweet flavors of cocoa, soot and fruit pit. To its credit, the tangy spirit is quiet at midpalate but explodes in the aftertaste, making for a combustible but exceedingly pleasing finish. (August 2005)
