| Silver |
| high tones on nose, not in a bad way, Sweet, high alcohol, good oak, tannins, plum pudding, freshness and acidity carrying it through |
| Deeper brick red, ripe dark berry, brandy spirit, power and concentration on palate, warm finish. Would like more length of flavour |
| Deep plum. Savoury, with tailsy spirit. Full palate with fine firm tannins. Structure will ensure longevity. Spirity alc alittle dominant. |
| orange red, cloves and spice, tobacco, very spicy mid palate, lighter alc weight, sweetness not as pronounces, some orange skin |
