    An aroma spectacle ala Grand Arome from Savanna. Fruity and astringent, the typical strawberry yoghurt note is conspicuous here in the fruity aroma universe. This Savanna is simply wonderfully palatable, astringent, mouth-filling, crazy... What a board of flavors and elegant at the same time, which I rarely find with GA. Outstanding! Before I forget: the alcohol is perfectly integrated.

    very beautiful Savanna

    An excellent Savanna, great aroma markers but with some sweetness.

    This one was my favourite and it has a nice menthol touch to it from nose to finish. The nose is very nice and fruity with tobacco and menthol. I do pick up a light wooden note as well. The palate is lightly sweet and bitter with fruit and menthol. In the back i pick up oak, caramel, marzipan and tobacco. The finish is long and fruity with leather, oak and menthol.
