Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Perfume and apples
P: The palate follows the nose in a big way, with hints of mint and clove.
F: Dry and perfect.
[Upon retaste I have downgraded this from an A- to a B. I now detect a distinct chemical aspect to the floral component, which toward the bottom of the glass gets a little tiring.]

Adam

Mild nose of dusty closet behind sharp fruit notes. On the palate, it's sweet yummyness with tangy fruit. After a brief moment smoke enters in a supporting and discreet role. Builds into a finish that's great and never overwhelming. Not a powerhouse, this is a restrained yet notable "Yum!" B+/A-

Andy

Dainty Peat with a weak finish
