“Savanna light lässt grüßen ! Sehr gut eingebundener Alkohol, leicht würzig, Honig touch und etwas Holz. Wem mancher „unshared“ zu heftig war findet hier evtl einen besseren Zugang. Mehr als ein sample muss aber nicht sein.”

“Overall interesting and tasty, was a bit sharper than expected(could be one of those days). The Grand Arome shines mostly in the nose and finish and is a bit shy in the taste. Will pour another and let air for longer than my first pour. I experience that it gets better and better as it was aired. The taste felt at first mostly woody and grassy where sweeter elements was in the background but got more room with time. I feel that the taste could have been fuller, nevertheless worthy of a place by the other Papalins. Edit: more balanced after 30+ minutes of airing, sweet notes in taste more pronounced.”
