Nose: Intensely garden patch, violet, green wood, green bell pepper, cedar
Palate: did not expect elegance. such a delightful blend of violets and wood, the mouth feel is velvety and syrupy. Roasted bell peppers and fresh fish on a cedar plank. Quickly sauteed mushroom with browned butter, and coffee grounds. Finish is long and full of leather, coffee, and the lingering violets.
Rating: 7 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – Ryan loves the interplay between the floralness and the deep wood character. I acknowledge the beauty of the dram that way I often look at a super model and can see how she is beautiful, but wouldn’t want to marry her.
