Stunning nose. Caramel, honey, butterscotch, white chocolate, sultana, so complex. Just stunning. Peaches. Apricots. In their juices. Mushroom. So so complex. Brown sugar. Palate is luscious, racy and super clean. Nimble and elegant this is decidedly old school Auslese. Balance is superb. Nose gets Smokey with air. So precise. Unreal crystalline structure and dazzling purity. Very young, very fresh bottle of this. My best! — 3 years ago
Strong and spicy and deep and complex. It is fruitier and more aromatic than scotch but also more elegant. Not sure Id pay hundreds for a bottle. Fruity palate with prunes, Corinth raisins and sticky toffee pudding. Palate: Dark chocolate and over-ripe plums. A little sultana character, cocoa butter and spice. Finish: SPICY, vanilla-led finish with all kinds of dark fruits. Hennessy XO if you want something stronger and dynamic; Remy Martin XO if you want a smooth and mellow ride. — a year ago
Ripe pear, stewed pear, sultana raisin. Vanilla. Thai basil. Toffee. Subdued notes of oak. Very well balanced acidity to go with such rich fruit notes. — 5 years ago
Wow! Fruitcake, tamarind, sultana, graphite. So concentrated, beautiful age, timed perfectly. — 2 years ago
Lovely tropical fruit notes, with butter, sultana raisins orange juice, lime and mocca coffee. Drinks like a 2003 rather than a 2013. — 5 years ago
