Nose
Nice, grassy and citrussy. Waxy and fruity, with sugared and dried apricots, apple skins, and marmalade. Quite grainy, vegetal notes like fern, dry grass, and hay. Distant white pepper and slight rotting wet wood.
Palate
Sweet and fruity, with warm apple juice and apricots, wax, paper, and cardboard. Quickly gives way to a delicious fruitiness, short peak of prickly black pepper, and a hidden hint of black coal. Highly drinkable.
Finish
Decent finish with a nice fruity aftertaste.
