Top Notes For

9.2

After opening up for 45 minutes there is rich leather, ripe yet surprisingly fresh red fruit, sage, fresh cracked pepper and barrel room on the nose. The palate is long and easy with layers of well structured fruit and lavender notes all leading to a nice spice on the finish. This is a reminder why I originally loved GSM.
