Tasting Notes
Robert KarlssonAn enjoyable slightly fruity and somewhat flowery nose. With time it gets rounder, somewhat buttery. Taste more intense than the nose hinted at. Big spicy vanilla and lively maltiness. Quite intense, not bad.
Krishna NukalaDistinctly floral;lots of lavender,some sweet sherry notes, with time some complexities coming out. And when stirred, florals ooze out.When at rest and without shaking the glass, you get some heavy nice oily nose. Very sweet syrup, full and round. Excellent sweetish long finish (MMA 2010 blind tasting)
Rich Howardfloral and slightly leathery, plum butter and hints of singed wood way in the background, and maybe just a whiff of rubber right at the beginning, but not in a bad way, and it fades quickly regardless. then big on vanilla buttercream frosting (heavy on the vanilla) and a handful of berries and just a touch of milk. the palate is tangy fruit punch (red fruits and berries, not citrus) with quite a bit of cocoa in there. [tasted blind for the 2010 Awards]
