According to the International Wine and Spirits Competition on January 2006:
"Complex, fruity, spicy nose with floral backing. Gentle caress of fine oak. Round and full in the mouth with good mature flavours. Hint of sweetness adds to complexity with smooth flow across the palate. Yet has dry , powerful finish."

According to tastings.com:
"Medium amber hue. Molasses and dried fruit aromas have a rum barrel note. A soft, round entry leads to a fruity-sweet medium-bodied palate with buttery toffee, dried autumn and tropical fruits, and gingery, brown spices. Finishes with a drying wave of charred wood, pepper, and fruit skins. Nicely balanced with a good grapey character."
