The nose on this one is amazing, dark fruits, powdered sugar sweet. I could nose this pour all day. Palate is just as good with the dark fruits and the wine barrel finish coming through. Finish is lightly spicy and long. I loved the MWND act 11 for the same qualities, however this one surpases it in almost every way. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle if you can find it at or under $150.
