Exceptionally fragrant, with tawny portwood, plum, honey and riped berries on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and silky mouthful, with a medley of dried fruit, oranges, semi-sweet chocolate, hazelnut and gentle wood spice over the palate. The finish is long with a lingering fruity aftertaste. Simply a magnificent dram.

@Generously_Paul : I haven't tried the standard chill-filtered 40% ABV version of this expression (which happens to retail for double the price for some strange reason), but this one is really something else. Must try if you can get your hands on a sample.
Another glowing review for this 21 year old. Keeps pushing me towards it...
Note: Review was for the "Non Chill-Filtered Release" bottling sold in Canadian travel-retail shop and bottled at 47.6% ABV ($189 CAD, duty-free)
