La Flor de Ynclan
748 Churchill
FINAL GRADE: B+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
NOTES:
A thin vanilla cream made tangy by a medicinal citrus note. Acidity lasts longer than in the Robusto* but hits less egregiously. Tick better complexity/roundness. Brown sugary through-out. White progresses to black pepper, particularly through schnoz**. Sharp cedar/blonde-roasted java. Suede-enveloped dirt under-belly. Tastes a bit raw. Pack softens but draw holds well; slight curvature to burn.

** I added that sentence/note post-posting and up-on some thought. It is a subtle thing, easily buried-some by the over-all tanginess. Humsoever, I did feel remiss in allowing it un-noted.
