Nose
Big, upfront with masses of vanilla overlaying the inevitable spiciness. Huge, sweet and powerful. Picks up an almost dried fruit depth in time. With water a scented dustiness gives it a lift.
Palate
Grainy texture. Heat and oaky grip. Cherryade but the aromatic edge carries through well. Zesty.
Finish
Good length. Oaky.
Comment
Not exactly subtle, but has a certain bruising charm.

Nose
Rich, deep, Christmas cake, wood polish, sandalwood.
Palate
Big hit of oak and spice, prunes, dark chocolate and oak. Then more wood.
Finish
Long, dry and spicy. Oh, and did I mention the oak?
Comment
Not for the faint-hearted. For the Kill Bill, vindaloo and extreme wrestling person in your life.
