    Really delicious. A very expressive nose, with a nice smell of cognac, spices and ripe fruits. That we find in mouth. Alcohol very well integrated

    Impressive savanna grand arome, with usual funky traits of vinyl and strawberries, plus the usual complexity sustained by the abv. Esters are noticeable, but also a fresh side is clearly emerging while drinking

    Typical Grand Arome, as one is accustomed to from Savanna. More power would have done the bottling good to get a higher rating. New bottlings around 65% are clearly more complex.

    Really horny relaxed grand arome Savanna. Strawberry, menthol bubblegum, cinnamon, pineapple full broadside.
