"A very nice vintage!"
"Dried fruits and spices are impressive on the nose, as are flowers. Full-bodied, dry and savory with nuances of figs, dried berries, spices, mahogany and tar. Fine bitterness on the finish. Rich and tasty, in a more traditional style. Drink it or keep it." (James Suckling 2019)
