On the eye, this had a nice amber color. On the nose, this is unique and disarms you with the rose, floral, herbal tea smells galore. Everything I ejoyed about the almost perfect nose was lost in what felt like the everlasting gaze. The flavor balance was off, with an overpowering alcohol profile and taste that it is unique - though expected with a heavy floral and tea profile. I prefer an earl gray or gold. I wouldn’t give this a zero. Unfortunately, this simply wasn’t my cup of tea today.
