Dec 4, 2002 Chocolate and sweet black coffee notes as expected. Sweet and sour with a long bitter finish on the palate. A good example of the style.

Apr 7, 2005 Bottle. Classy. Deep brown, almost black. Slightly vinous nose, a little bit smoky/roasty. Medium bodied, but shows a good length of flavour. Palate is smoky/roasty and dry, with some slight acidity and bitterness in the finish. Subtle hint of grapes, and i will agree that there is a slight chalkyness. Some aniseed in there aswell. Really well balanced. This IS really classy.
