Review by Oliver
Unusually cloudy color. Had first thought if something went wrong here - but tastes impeccable... 🤓In the nose, a dense and dark sherry spice comes directly to the fore. There is also some tropical fruit and toasty cocoa associations. Very pleasant. On the palate, the sherry finish dominates. Spicy, toasty and dark. The classic Savanna DNA recedes into the background here. Pleasant alcohol strength. Those who like sherry will get their money's worth here. Only the rather short Abgabg clouds something the exciting overall package.

#4470 13.11.2023 A nice and fresh release with a very good price tag. Fruity with nice balance and medium intense profile. The palate is medium dry with a nice cherry touch. The finish is medium long and with some added chocolate. The empty glass has some faint leather notes and light caramel.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Nice substance, sherry finish not too dominant. Has something of red fruit jelly with dark chocolate and a little coffee. Not boring despite 46%!
