Nose - light on the nose to start with orange, opens up with more vanilla and charred essence, a nutty smell also comes to mind Taste - thicker feel in the mouth, peppercorn, and something I can best describe as a dark flavor Finish - moderate length and very good, leaves an almost aged black tea aftertaste for a moment Score - 4.5, really enjoy this one, quite good all around Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
