Very smooth, delicate. Opens up a little with some time. White grapes, sherry. Something a little funky going on here — maybe the cereal notes. I think I prefer the 12 though. Wouldn’t say this is bad but for the price there’s no comparison for me I’d go with the 12. That said, the 12 changed as I explored the bottle. Maybe the same will happen here Edit: Definitely did happen. I’d rate this 4.5 now. No funkiness, quite smooth. Agree that letting it open up is a good idea.
