Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
14.08.1992 Attending a small tasting event at this old hotel where everyone is new to me. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, fresh, light roasted wood, earthy, orange, faint leather. Palate Light, light wood, fruity, orange, faint strawberry, light leather, tobacco, faint mint. Finish Medium long, light, light anise, nutts, faint anise. 3.5 stars of 5.0 which should amount to 7.0 today.
