Review and Tasting

Sampled on 10/01/2014

Appearance:

Clear, pale golden amber.

Aroma:

Chocolate fudge, chocolate ice-cream, woody grapes, olive oil and shortcrust pastry.

Taste:

Chocolate, eucalyptus, sweet acorn-like nuttiness and pine needles with linseed and brawny black pepper spice. The oiliness and subtle sweetness tame the 50% strength.

Aftertaste:

Chocolate cake, mocha coffee and cracked black and white pepper spice.
