  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    The Five works much better than the Three on the nose, delivering vivid blackberry and raspberry fruit; cedar and eucalyptus scents emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a liberal sprinkling of white pepper on the entry, good depth and grip, and curry powder and a touch of garam masala on the finish. Excellent.
