ABV 45%
A finer structured example but the Zinfandel element seems a little bolted on.

Taster
Nose: Seems to have more rye lift giving a dustier edge. Mint and coconut. Rose petals and plum jam. In the hickory smoked camp.
Palate: More straight down the line than the last one. Seems to have age, wet leather, canvas, coriander powder. The maraschino note is there again, fennel.
Finish: Surprisingly fruity and jammy.
Comment: A finer structured example but the Zinfandel element seems a little bolted on.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Perfumey, with vanilla, honey and beeswax traces.
Palate: Sharp and dry, with oak dominant.
Finish: Vacuum-like dryness sucks the cheeks.
Comment: Get past the dryness and this one's a grower.
Score: 8
