Ultra-smooth and lush without a twinge of burn. Flavor tends to undermine the potential of this magnificent creation, with a general astringence and herbal note...but when it goes down this easily who keeps it in their mouth long enough to care? Falls short of its main ultra-premium competitor Jean Marc XO and is about $20 over-priced...would make a fine gift if only for the appearance of the bottle, however there are better vodkas widely available for much more reasonable prices.
