It would be easy to dismiss this as mediocre spirit disguised by a slightly heavy-handed application of sweet wine barrel flavour. All of that is true. Nonetheless it is not without charm as the result is better than it might have been. A nose of citrus and vanilla and syrup. In the mouth, those flavours remain, with the addition of spice. The alcohol is a little brutal however although not quite enough to spoil the party. A predictable desert wine flavour hangs about at the end but not for long. The rrp is around £40. I paid £30. At that price, it was an interesting experiment but not a drop I'll buy again.
