What do reviewers say about The Brilliant Game and Before Midnight?
Here's the thing about The Brilliant Game, the Campari opening is a statement. Bitter, almost medicinal at first. But give it time. The red berries arrive and bring their sweetness.The Brilliant Game
The synthetic-fruity character either appeals or doesn't. But when tonka and tobacco hold the drydown warm and confident, the composition achieves a satisfying completeness.Before Midnight
