Our Score
The nose is marked by spicy and cheesy sweetness. The oily palate is well balanced and goes on floral and fruity touches. The finish reveals some peppery hints. Not a bad baijiu at all.
The nose is has a cheesy smell and some discrete leather hints. The palate recognizes the leather as well, but also some mix of flowers and ripe fruits, which make it a rather sweet and pleasant baijiu, but without complexity. The finish is pleasant too, with however some alcohol touches on the background.
