| Tasting Notes |
| Johannes van den Heuvel | Nose: Loads of organics and a touch of liquorice. Something oily as well. Rubber after a minute. Complexity and development. Then some 'veggy' notes. More candy and dust later on.
Palate: Fantastic mouth feel at cask strength, with sweetness and liquorice in the start. Long, smoky centre. Score: 88 points. |
