    "Unfortunately, too alcoholic and edgy. From the freshly opened bottle unpleasant sulfur and cheese associations. 🫣More pleasant on the palate."

    "Frisch aufgemacht brutal säuerlich unangenehm vergoren käsig.... geschmacklich nicht ganz so geil und komplex wie der 9y alte im direkten Vergleich. weniger Frucht, dafür mehr Harz, Ledersattel und Tabak und Kakao. dafür kommen noch etwas alte Banane und Honig und Kaffee dazu und er ist noch etwas süffiger. die Karamellbonbon DNA bleibt allerdings erhalten! Der 9er ist aber deutlich besser!"

    "In der Nase ein recht langweiliger, typischer Spanier, der am Gaumen etwas überrascht. Die 57% ABV wirken noch etwas scharf, liefern aber einen vergleichsweise intensiven Geschmack, der vor allem mit einigen rostigen Aromen überzeugt. Für Kuba (zumindest was meine bisherigen Erfahrungen betrifft) recht komplex und intensiv."

    "Dunkles Gold Geruch: Schwach süß, blumig (Kamille, Stroh, nasses verfaultes Gras), Vanille Vergoren, säuerlich, Quitte Rauch Holzig (virgin cask) Geschmack: Frisch geöffnet adstringierend und trocken im Mund. Nach eintägigem Stehen dagegen eher süß. Beim Schlucken würzig alkoholisch. Dabei fruchtig (Birne) mit etwas Karamell. Holzig Abgang: Mittellang Trocken, würzig, holzig und etwas fruchtig. 80 Punkte Das Sample hat halbvoll von eintägigem Stehen deutlich profitiert. Der Geschmack ist jetzt deutlich runder."
