Cellar Tracker Review
Fully matured, well structured and still fresh and crispy. Chocolate, roast aromas, ink, graphite and mentholic notes in the nose. Mature, but still fresh red fruit, chocolate, ink, tobacco, caramel, licorice, light toast. With a subtle cask background and mentholic finish. A remarkable achievement in this difficult year. 90 Points
