Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

Ridiculously good. Nose is rich but not overwhelming. Iodine, cracked stone minerality, dark pungent berry, roasted green herbs, cedar, an animal note. On the palate, it’s rich but not heavy, with intense flavor concentration. Gorgeous fruit. Fruity, savory, long. Still some fine tannin. Seems more youthful than it is. Love this.
