Fantastic - had this while studying for the WSET III course. It has beautiful coconut, vanilla, raspberries, clove, leather… like breathing in the inside of a tall handsome cigar-smoking mysterious man’s warm jacket… wait, that won’t help me pass on the written part of the test! 🤣❤️

Ardanza. Always a good bet. Not as good as the 2012 is now but excellent.

Dangerously smooth, creamy, dark, light and at the same time dense. The smell is out standing. Doesn’t feel strong at all
