Nose: Incredibly aromatic, prunes, dates, fresh snap peas, mom’s greenhouse with distinct tomato plant. old oak. Loads of sugars.

Palate: The oak is strong yet not too drying. potent “green” vegetal floral note as well (dandelion greens, tomato vines), bit of honey, prunes and figs

Rating: 7 (Shane) 5 (Ryan) / 10 – this does not drink like an old rhum at first. I would swear up and down it’s an old cognac. Elegant. Floral. Then the green fresh notes and wood blossom. This gets much better with a large sip. A truly special pour. It’s a Salma Hayek of pours – absolutely gorgeous and yet doesn’t hold Ryan’s interest. He is broken.
