NOSE: Fig, pumpkin bread, brown sugar, but an unpleasant urethane smell underlying it. PALATE: Astringent mouthfeel, very slowly evolves to a slightly richer feel. Again fruit, more of a cinammon apple on the tongue. And vanilla and caramel. Straightforward but not unenjoyabe. FINISH; A little spice, but very short, and as it lingers a bit of a Listerine note. THOUGHTS: I saw that Jim Murray gave No 7 a surprinsingly high score, and thought I should really sit down with it instead of disparaging it as I tend to do. And you know? It's really not that bad. Yes, it's more suited to mixing than drinking neat, but I've sure had worse.
