The appeal here is the contrast: bright cherries, raisins and orange zest on the nose, with only a little smoked paprika, then a sweeter, more acidic palate where berries meet sea salt and baking spices. That keeps the fruit from reading as simply sugary. The long, creamy finish with smooth rich spice notes sounds like a satisfying close. There’s plenty of detail, but the shifts between fruit, savoury notes and spice give it a clear shape.
