"An initial aroma of bittersweet dark chocolate, orange peel, and herbs; air contact stimulates scents of flowers, jasmine, bark, forest, honey, and very light quinine. The palate entry is intensely sweet and floral; at midpalate the taste profile turns cocoa-like with notes of citrus rind, molasses, brown sugar, and grass. Concludes sweet, thick, and luscious." 90-95 pts.

"The bouquet is appealing, ripe, fruity and berry-like. The palate entry is pomegranate-like, extremely sour, acidic and tart; the midpalate is less aggressive and riper. Finishes tart, amazingly clean and ripe. A wonderful cocktail ingredient." 90-95 pts.

"Vanilla pudding, marshmallow, and toasted nut aromas follow through on a supple, satiny entry to a glycerous medium-full body with a touch of pepper and wet stone minerality. Finishes with tingling golden marshmallow and peppery spice fade. Will be very good for mixing."

"Attractive foggy pink/rose color. The bouquet is highly perfumed with intense fragrances of orange peel, passionfruit and mango pulp, with a backnote of spice. Entry is lusciously tart and fruity, displaying an ideal balance between the alcohol base, acidity, and fruit. Finishes impeccably balanced, clean and juicy. Bravo!" 96-100 pts.
