| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2008 Bottle, 2 yrs old. Pours with a decent head that disappears. This is surprisingly good after these years, retaining a rich, dry, lustery character, full of coffee and oatmeal and a touch of sweetness. A little oxidation has set in but a light sherry character weds everything rather well. A touch of brine and a light coffee finishes makes this an easy drinker. Excellent. fonefan (11313), VestJylland, Denmark
