Nose: 22/25 big’n’grapey: not first class, but it’ll do;
Taste: 23/25 big fruit delivery yet the malts don’t exactly hang back, either;
Finish: 23/25 loads of chocolate on the go…and so much else, mainly of a honeyed persuasion;
Balance: 22.5/25 at first, not too sure about this one. Then just wears you down with its non-stop enormity. And bloody niceness!
Score: 90.5
