  A private tasting (Jan-Dirk Taams' residence, Groot-Ammers, Netherlands): Fully mature but lively appearance; cocoa, hint of stalks, sweet and fresh, beautifully balanced, hint of exotique, spices; good length.

  Drank with strawberry and rhubarb crumble. This was really great. The nose was Christmas spices, cinnamon. Very smooth and sweet palate with solid complexity - darker fruits, raisins, spice. Kept going back.

  This is just delightful. A lovely nose of Christmas cake and sweet cherries. The spice is so sweet and delicate it almost tickles your senses. The palate is amazingly smooth and the mouthfeel lasts a full 60 seconds with flavours of black forest fruits, raisins, figs and sweet cherries.

  Dense dark garnet colour with a bright, slightly simple blackcurrant nose. Full and spicy with sweet black fruits. Bright and well balanced. Not much complexity but nice.
