Aromas feature a strong perfume bouquet along with ripe plum, iron, tobacco, oak, molasses, and some earthy notes. The palate required some coaxing. I tasted chocolate, black currants, tobacco, and dried herbs, with a long finish that reminded me of bourbon due to a menthol burn. However, after 90 min, I detected cassis and graphite on the finish, but the burn persisted. Allow a minimum of 2 hours for decanting. Tannins are not a problem. The second day, it didn't improve- May 31 2025
Savoury notes, leather and leaves, cherry and a hint of graphite , Smoke and mushroom. Classic flavors and aromas with a modern touch, but not overdone.
