| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Here I get a rather dominant but absolutely finely tuned nose that reminds me of sulphur. I usually do NOT like that but here it works, oddly enough. Mixed in with some raisin. Not very faint-hearted nose here. Tastewise lively, tasty, nice raisin, cardemom and other darker spices. The sulphury style is more laid-back here. |
