A friend of mine owns this bottle. Allowed me to try a pour. Such a deep rich, dark caramely color. Nose - A powerdul nose. A super sherry forward nose. I get overriped bananas, raisins, nutmeg, cinnamon. I get lavender and moss as well. Hints of chocolate and fruit cake! What a rich nose! Tongue - what a great first sip! Its super strong, has an interesting warmth. Very grape forward, like overripe grapes! Strong molasses and sugarcane aromas show up. Wonderfully rich, raisiny and oily. Coats the mouth really well. Finish is long, it lingers! Very spicy towards the end! Enjoyable spice! All in all a wonderful pour!!
