Nose
Rich with tempered sweetness, notes of wine, vanilla, tropical fruits, and florals. Also, thick, viscous, syrupy with lush florals like roses and plumerias, sweet honey, creamy and tart yogurt, malty and doughy scents, oranges, and hints of pickle juice or stale beer.
Palate
Full-bodied and syrupy, with honeyed texture. Initial sourness developing into sour and spiciness, with a honey background, coffee, chocolate, white wine, white pepper, malt, and mild ginger notes.
Finish
Medium to long, with waves of sweet tropical fruits and sublime white wines. Also, notes of semi-boiled fish bones, boiled tofu in fish stock, burnt roots, and artificial honey.
