GABA Lu Gu, АА, 2019

Reddish-brown, with green flecks, small pearls are fragrant with spicy and sweet aroma: cloves, black pepper, nutmeg, vanilla and confectionery chord of buttery pastry. As the breath warms, the odour becomes more gingerbread, almost cloying, with notes of cinnamon, ginger, the sweetness of caramel crust on crème brûlée.

The oily infusion of yellow-honey colour with a slight greenish tinge smells of plum shortbread biscuits. The flavour has a characteristic muted dried fruit sourness, warm and smooth, light, refreshing, floral and fruity, with a creamy note. One can discern hints of homemade shortbread biscuits, Ceylon floral-sweet cinnamon, notes of ripe plum and green grapes. The spirit leaf is large, brownish-red and smells of poppy seed bun.

Warm, slightly spicy GABA with a pleasant aftertaste. Lifts the mood, refreshes, relaxes.
