I’m completely smitten, and while it may still be too early to call this the best young Burg I’ve had this year, it’d be a hard one to beat. “Extreme Aromatics,” was what I proclaimed when it first graced our glasses. The perfume was just so intense that you’d struggle to keep your nose in the glass, and so wildly complex that it was just otherworldly. It was like a perfumer’s dream; a top shelf Extrait de Parfum. Think roses, orange blossoms, ripe cherries, garam masala, bergamot, black tea, and hints of herbs/stems. Just insane! On the palate, it really exemplified “power without weight”. Incredibly concentrated and textured, yet totally effortless to drink. Pure with just the right amount of juiciness. For me, it felt very nearly complete, despite its youth and promise for more with time. Bravo, Thomas. Bravo.
