the 2010 Amon-Ra is very closed on the nose showing pure black fruits

This is oaky stuff today but it’s impressively stylish all the same and the underlying material is so good that this should harmonize with time

There is enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background though it clearly seems ripe

Once again the highly expressive nose can be aptly described as ultra-floral with a huge range of spice elements on the airy and cool aromas of red and dark berry liqueur scents
