87 / 100
The burnt toffee gives the nose a clear sweet note, but it is set against blackcurrants, liquorice and scorched orange oil rather than standing alone. I like the palate’s shift from oak dryness into orange and mint, with wood smoke and dark chocolate adding a firmer counterweight. That contrast makes the character feel more composed than simply sweet. The long, rich, intense finish supports a strongly flavoured impression, though the notes suggest a substantial style rather than an easy, light one.
