Russian Standard Imperia 750ml (DNO)

The first sniffings find dry cereal-like aromas; the later sniffings detect aromas reminiscent of old-fashioned egg cream soda. The palate entry shows bittersweet notes of vanilla extract, unsalted butter and grain mash; at midpalate the astringency of the graininess is pleasingly refreshing. The finish is more semisweet than bittersweet.
