Tasting notes

“This is also exceptionally floral in character with plenty of sauvage character present on the more deeply pitched aromas of black cherry and cassis. The velvety yet powerful larger-scaled flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while displaying excellent length on the balanced and built-to-age finale. Excellent.” -Allen Meadows, Burghound
