| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Some orange marmalade, but quite laid-back style. Still, nice classy spicyness in there. Grows bigger with time. Quite a bit of raisin and other dried fruit concentration in the taste. Big and bold. With water it rounds off a little. |
| Krishna Nukala | This has rich nose. Lots of dried fruits- raisins, dates and spices like cloves and cinnamon. But when you drink it, the palate belies the nose. You expect a lot on palate for this kind of nose, but it disappoints.(Blind tasting notes of MMA 2013) |
