Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: A humidor long empty of cigars, faint sherry, raisins.
P: Initially blank and then dry tea leaf.
F: More flavor emerges in the finish, mostly oak, but a flash of fruit makes things interesting.

Adam

Nose is nectary -- honeydew -- with an interesting chemical note that reminds me of Silly String. On the palate, whatever that chemical thing is, it's in here in an interesting way, along with a general sugary-ness and tart fruit notes revolving around apples. Melons show up here too. Some toffee and peanut brittle emerge as well. Finish continues the theme. B/B+
