June 20, 2015 - (winter-solstice christmas Brunner@Ben's) Rich, dense, plush nose, sweetly perfumed with spice and garrigue, dusted with cola nut, mint and swiss herbal pastilles (ricola). Mid ruby garnet in glass, not inky at all. Cedar cigarbox characters, with leather, toasted nuts and grilled mushroom. Expressive and elegantly structured. Dynamic and expressive, constantly evolving in the glass. Initially reticent, but started truly blooming after an hour or so... perhaps not the best CDP yet, but still elegant, complex, well rounded and powerful nonetheless. A fun drop!
