This is the older Havana Reserve, now with batch numbers ala A'bunadh. Colour: full gold. Nose: much richer than the 1991 of course but not exactly rummy. Quite some sultanas and honey, then sweet white wine (late harvest gewurz’), vanilla crème, tinned litchis, oriental wood (sandal, cedar), even incense… Gets more and more fragrant but, once again, not rummy. Mouth: round and creamy, more powerful and candied than the 1991 but, once again, not exactly rummy. White-fruits fruit cake, soft oak and soft spices (white pepper, cinnamon), gingerbread and speculoos. Finish: just like the 1991 this time, the finish is a tad too oaky for our taste but still clean and fresh. Comments: simply very good
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 82/20 points.
