| Tasting note: Beautiful … hue with very attractive amber highlights; as expected, potent and heady in the nose, but also astringent, pepperminty, zesty – not what I’d term a deep or complex bouquet – just straight on, fists cocked, and ready; on palate it shows much more grace and gentility than in the pugnacious aroma, as well-defined, tightly focused sweet flavors of oak, pears, apricots, and dark caramel lead the taste buds to a moderately hot, but hardly unpleasant finish, where in the very tail end, the warm, rich flavor of oak-influenced vanilla completes the sensory impression. Recommended. Score – HHH (out of 5). (F. Paul Pacult, Kindred Spirits, 1997) |
