IMPRESSIONS:
Full-bodied and structured-yet with an uplifting freshness like a garden of sunflowers. Hints of dried roses, mint, raspberry, black cherry, sweet tobacco, and the richness of Medjool dates. After opening it continues to present deepening aspects of its nature as the hours pass. Consider decanting this bottle if you plan to drink it soon.
