Big and powerful. Shows a bit more internationalist rather than traditionalist in style.

Whiff of nail polish blew off to reveal a nose of violets, saddle leather, and peppercorn. Similar profile on the palate with dark red berry and wild game notes also present. Smooth silky texture. Slightest bit of rim variation in the glass, not quite bricking. Plenty of tannic grip on the finish, and many years ahead of it.

The nose alone was intoxicating... you can taste the engineered elegance.

So polished, balanced with perfumed aromatics that almost tricks you into thinking that this is ready to drink but their is so much material & extract that you know this will age gracefully for many years. Awesome stuff!
