Quai D'Orsay Francia MUR SEP18 (PQWRC)

[foxwoods321]

Quai D'Orsay Francia  (Belicoso Royal) 

MUR SEP 13

Pre-Light: Draw is open and slight resistance with no signs of hard spots/lumps. Cold draw show flavors of slight sweetness and pepper.

First Third: Picking up flavors of baked bread, dried fruit/sweetness and mushroom/earthy undertones with no issues with draw or construction. 

 

2nd Third: WOW really picks up the intensity and got a huge blast of black pepper for a couple of puffs and then disappears. Baked bread note is gone and and replaced with Cedar/wood notes

Final Third: Sweetness tines is the predominant profile think like raw sugar with the mushroom/earthy tones following with hints of leather and baking spice/cinnamon. 

Conclusion: Damn good and completely different than other QdO blends with so many twist and turns in such a shorter format. Age has improved this blend from when I first had them. Starts Mild+ but ends Med+ on body and burn times ~1 hr 15 mins.

Score: 94/100

Probably one of my top QdO and if you can get your hands on some definitely worth it ?
