Superb nose and at first extremely wild – making it very hard to blind guess at. It calmed down a bit in the glass, but thankfully never lost its first impression of a big wine. Coconut, vanilla, mint and deep floating fruit core. Raisins with a sprinkle of alcohol – not heavy at any stage, even though this is a 14.5% monster. Taste is great, intense, pure and again wild with liquorice ending the show. (96)
