March 8, 2011 - Nose strongly of worcestershire. Dark fruits, raisins, prunes. A bit too print, and the worcestershire is incredibly strong. Smoky, sweet.
On the palate - heavy, heavy mouthfeel. Like ink. Definite sweetness that I characterize with amarone, and mouth gripping tannins. A good dose of heat, i'd clck this in at 14.5% (a check puts it at 15%). smooth, oily attack, and the acid and alcohol come through strongly in the finish. Really, really long finish, comes in waves. A full minute later, a wave of tartness comes through, then a wave of Bitterness, then tingled - a lot of alcohol notes in the finish.
Really good, and very intriguing.6,610 views
