Overview

Essi Avellan | Oxidized first bottle. The second is the same, so deliberately so. Deep brown-hued golden color. Dull, oxidized, old nose. Sweet palate but too oxidized. | 7

Marcel Orford-Williams | First bottle oxidized, the second bottle idem. I suppose granite, but of the beastliest sort. | 1

Tom Stevenson | Both bottles oxidized, seemingly deliberately so! Sweet aftertaste. | 7
