einfach nur geil. Alkohol extrem gut eingebunden. Sherry spürbar aber nicht zu dominant. arrack gibt schön den Ton an und das ganze einfach nur extrem smooth und funky!🤤 als würde man gebratenen Speck in Schokolade und Rosinen mit orientalischen Gewürzen wälzen... Hammer. Insbesondere Safran, grüne Paprika, Rosenwasser, Mandarinenschale und Kardamom sind dominant je öfter ich ihn probiere. Bin froh ne 2. Flasche zu haben. Außergewöhnlicher Stoff!

Der macht wirklich Spaß! Positives Beispiel für ein Pedro Ximenes Faß. Intensiv und ausgewogen. Neben dunkler Fruchtigkeit eine fleischige Röstnote, wie eine Soja-Pflaumensauce. Davon gieße ich mir auch gerne ein oder zwei Gläser nach. Alkohol nahezu perfekt harmonisiert.
