Nose: Very herbal on first sniff – eucalyptus and grapeseed oil, quince, dark muscovado sugar and ginger snaps, fresh ripe cherries, grape jolly rancher (shane doesn’t get this at all), creme de violette
Palate: Subtle molasses, luxardo cherries, grape fruit leather, wood is present but nicely integrated with the rest of the palate. So rounded and gentle and elegant.
Rating: 6 (Shane) 7 (Ryan) / 10 – oh that is much better than I expected on the nose. The palate is a gentle and refined sweet bomb. I (Ryan) poured a second time, full sample.
