717 reviewsNo lot number on this sample. Aromas of pastis, dark chocolate, molasses, vanilla, and sandalwood. The palate has heavy notes of leather, burning cigars, and brisket. Additional notes of smoked salmon, mesquite, and cedar. This not what I typically expect from a Mexicano, yet still enjoyable.
