Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a tasting from 2016 where we tried vintage 1980 and 1981. I have noted that it had a good balance and sweet oily palate that was spicy/warm.
Review by Montana
A rather sweet smell, sherry, spicy, somewhat alcoholic. The taste also has some sweetness, the body is rather light.The finish is quite long and mild.
