"Owns a discernible and pretty ecru/tarnished silver tint, color-wise; unblemished clarity. Opening
inhalations find prickly aromas that attack the olfactory mechanism, offering little hint of juniper pininess. The entry is ashy, toasted, moderately spicy, creamy in texture, almost coffee-like, beany, smoky, tar-like; midpalate is more obvious in its pepper direction, but again it’s a peppery aspect that, to me, is more ashlike/smoky/tobacco like than actually red or greeen or black pepperry; I’m informed that there’s a hint of pimento in the mix and that becomes clear in the finish.”
