Good to see non chill filtering and natural colour, bottled 03/2017. Immediately spicy, with licorice, caramalised orange peel and apple notes. At full strength there's a prickly attack of strong spice and heat. Adding a little water reveals fudge-like buttery caramel along with citrus, apple, and pear fruits. The finish is initially sweet and spicy with grapefruit bitterness cutting through leaving the palate dry and to some extent short. Overall it's lively and fun. My only complaint is the bitterness in the finish making it slightly out of balance for me, but otherwise highly enjoyable. Have a few other bottlings of this on hand and will see how they compare.
