Tasting Notes
"This makes for a bittersweet nose. The lush patch of lilac you smell is enticing but soon after is covered up by chopped up soap. The palate is a search for those lilacs again. You sift through lots of soap, some crushed coriander, and orange rind but the flowers are found again on the finish. Unfortunately the finish isn’t terribly long. This will flourish in an Aviation."
