Top Notes For

9.2

Yellow gold in the glass, looks darker in the decanter. Nice perfume in the nose. Notes of warm citrus fruit, kiwi, gravel stone, some honey and some tan spice. Sweet, rich and round in the mouth. Impactful. In a good spot for consumption but bottles like this should have a good many years in front of it.

Really beautiful--apples, cheese rind and chalk with a tongue-curling finish. Made coming into work on Saturday worth it.

Lovely stuff. Crab shells, iodine, lemons. All correct. A bit linear at this point.
