25% opacity, rich red brown. Mint, but quite a harsh nose, some rubber - TCA? Minty menthol in the mouth, with quick heat and a nice long finish. Slightly spirituous finish, but not massively. Incorrectly guessed to be F60.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Lovely nose, sweet and attractive. Bitter core with tannins still clearly apparent; big and deeply flavoured. Really fine finish. 93/100.
