Tasting Notes:

A decade in the tropics and a club-exclusive bottle. We're utterly enamoured with the vast majority of these explosive TDLs. Colour: dark gold. Nose: what a beauty. Beeswax and mango jam, in divine proportions. With water: a fruit salad dominated by citrus, plus honey and olive oil. Sublime balance. Mouth (neat): extraordinary. High-ester notes and brined olives join pink grapefruits, mangoes, and Wrigley’s ‘Juicy Fruit’ chewing gum. Incredible, terribly regressive, almost pornographic. With water: saline touches, brine, even seashells, and a perfect rubber/tar compound. Finish: alas, all good things must come to an end (only sausages have two, as our dear German friends say). Comments: are these things even legal? You’ll probably tell me one must be a member of that illustrious 'Up Spirits' club to get a hold of it – God only knows what goes on in those private clubs.

Note:SGP:752 - 92 points.
