"Rich ruby red hue. Sweet raspberry jam aromas follow faithfully on the thick, sweet, somewhat syrupy palate. This would be outstanding over vanilla ice cream, or as a dessert in itself."

"Sweet, cinnamon, medicinal bark, ginger, and cola nut aromas. A round entry leads to a bitter medium-to full-bodied palate with sharp and over-extracted medicinal herb and bark flavors, cinnamon and spice with a touch of flowery honey and spice. Finishes with a long bitter bark-like fade. A rather austere, but pure European digestif liqueur. Try super-chilled as a beer chaser."

"Very deep blackish-mahogany hue. Intense coconut, coffee, and chocolate aromas. A viscous, spirity attack leads to a full-bodied palate with marked sweetness. Explosively flavorful finish."

"An initial aroma of bittersweet dark chocolate, orange peel, and herbs; air contact stimulates scents of flowers, jasmine, bark, forest, honey, and very light quinine. The palate entry is intensely sweet and floral; at midpalate the taste profile turns cocoa-like with notes of citrus rind, molasses, brown sugar, and grass. Concludes sweet, thick, and luscious." 90-95 pts.

"Deep yellow-straw hue. Pungent, hedonistic hazelnut and vanilla aromas. A lush attack leads to a medium-bodied and flavorful palate with mild sweetness. Very well balanced. Flavorful, lengthy finish. Exotic, pure and intense."

"Brilliant, bright amber hue. Spirity almond and spice aromas. A lush entrance leads to a moderately full-bodied palate with moderate sweetness. Explodes in flavor on the mid palate. Precise, persistent finish."

"The bouquet smells enticingly of agave, flowers, and citrus rind. The palate entry features tastes of honey, Tequila, black pepper and citrus. Finishes cleanly, with delicately sweet notes of honey and sap." 90-95 pts.
