Nose
Darker in flavour than the current 10. Deep earthy peat – lignite, dirty charcoal grill, and black pepper. Savoury vegetal notes of sautéed celery, celery seed, nori, charred poblanos, and maybe some tomato paste. Chicken soup with dill? Slightly scented with grapefruit pith and spruce. Hints of slate and ink.
Palate
Medium-texture, quite soft. Arrives with rounded cool fruit notes of pear and lime, turning vegetal, then very dark and earthy. A little bit farmy here. Roasted nuts, dark-roast coffee, and a hint of lapsang souchong.
Finish
Jet-black. Carnitas, iodine, poblanos, spent coals, and dark chocolate. Heavy barnyard.
