Followed the Ulysse Collin Extra. Rut, so the dosage seemed a bit high. I had the 2006 about a month ago and it was good, not great. This was good, but not great again. Enjoyable, but not entirely special.

Reductive at first, with a dense core of iron and nuts. After 45 minutes it is showing tanned leather, rhubarb, tea smoke and beef jerky.

Very good finish, long and deep...
