Other reviews... Initial aroma is acutely spicy, cereal-grain sweet and a touch citrusy; following aeration the aroma takes flight as fruity/resiny scents enchant the olfactory sense. The flavor at entry is laser beam-focused, snug and concentrated; at midpalate, the flavor profile goes deeply cereal-like, almost honeyed, Sherried and intense. Concludes a tad fiery (it’s 101-proof, don’t forget), zesty, toffee sweet and nougat-like.
Rating: 90-95 - www.wineenthusiast.com
…Nose: Big and perfumed: dried lavender, honey, cake mix, black cherry and rye pepperiness. Palate: Huge, heavy and oily, then the acidic rye blasts its way in like Jesse James and takes control souring things up and giving a powerful mouthful that balances sweet and savoury beautifully. Finish: Long with wonderful balance. Comment: A classic big-boned style that gets maximum extraction of flavours.
