Brown Ruby in the Glass, smelling of Chocolate and Licorice. Dry and Earthy then bright Cherry/Cinnamon/White Pepper. Interesting bit of Concrete Dust smell with light Smoke and Cedar. Description is inadequate, for this is a pretty good number. Probably still a bit young, but seems like when all is settled and edges blunted, will be even better. Read More

Unbalanced. Disappointing. Overly bright up front and sour on the finish. Weak effort. Save your $20. Or $15 if it's on sale. Next. Read More
