Tasting Notes
Robert KarlssonRaisin and dark fruit amongst a hint of spent matches. Somewhat disturbing at first. Improves verily with time. Very big taste, full on dark fruits and bitter chocolate. Massively massive and without offnotes. Almost awesome, in fact.
Krishna NukalaSpices like cinnamon and cloves. Some weird organics, almost herbal. Lots of dry fruits and cough syrup. Orange zests. This has many complexities. Fabulous palate.- More spices galore. Deliciously sweet, finishes with explosion of spices that are everlasting. Blind tasting Notes of MMA 2013
