Dark brown, with just a thin head. The aroma is a lot of tonka beans, smooth medjool goodness, light coffee. Lots of complexity. On the palate, this shows a touch of acidity that slices through medium sugars. The tonka is an accent on the palate, but actually benefits from a richer sugar profile (as on the nose). Only a bit of coffee, slight nuttiness. What I like is this - it's got a great profile, and every note is clear. That acidity...it's not wrong but it's not my preference and of course I don't really know how intended it is or if I should have opened this a few months ago.

Poured from bottle @ Black Xmas. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Coffee, vanilla, I feel like the adjuncts do a disservice to the Munich wine here. Okay.

355mL bottle at The Magnet, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny head. Aroma is loaded with tonka beans and coffee upfront, with bourbon barrels to round it off. Flavour is very rich, with intense coffee and bourbon barrel, with a touch of tonka beans to accentuate. Cohesive and rich. Very good.
