Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Clear as mountain spring water, colorless. First nosing detects deep notes of molasses, fresh sugarcane, grass, vegetation, damp earth, yet there is a subtle sweetness to it that makes for endless sniffing possibilities. Total dry and brittle in the mouth at entry, then the flavor menu opens widely, offering lean, even austere and very dry flavors that are complex and luscious at the same time.
