Started great with the aroma of leather, red hots, honeydew and Armagnac! Take your time on this one. 101 is well hidden. Rolled it around on the tongue for overall smooth experience. A little heat on the finish but very short lived. Just strong enough for that “up your nose” rush. I’m a fan of Armagnac and I do get hints in the smell, taste and after taste. Great combination of vanilla and grapes. I’m a fan of this bottle. Just neat and lots of extra time to ponder. There is a part of the smell that reminds me of the forest...maybe that’s Yellowstone.
