- Nose
- Rich and savoury with notes of BBQ meats, tandoori lamb, grilled cubanelles and onions, ancient raisins, baking chocolate, brown sugar, browned butter, heavy cumin, lemongrass, and cold mud. With water, sweet BBQ pulled pork, star anise, clove spice, and brown sugar emerge.
- Palate
- Medium-thick texture, initially charred and earthy, medicinal, with savoury grilled meat and veggies. Develops with huge peat, spicy ginger, sweet pears, prunes, clover honey, brown sugar, blackberry compote, cooked plums, raspberry, burnt toffee apple, dark cacao, and a hint of spirit sulfur. With water, sour cherry sweets, char siu pork, and smoked watermelon.
- Finish
- Medium-short to long, tart and slightly tannic, with crabapple cider, pepper, demerara sugar, oranges, gentle clove oil, darkly sweet oakiness, dry sherry fruitiness, and a wisp of smoke.
