86 / 100
The description points firmly toward richness: dense, silky palate notes sit alongside caramel, vanilla, and honey on the nose. The turn toward umami, salt, and a touch of metal makes it less straightforward than a purely sweet, rounded blend. That contrast is interesting, though the metallic note gives me some pause. The long finish is described with honey, coffee, citrus, and earthy forest notes, which keeps the character layered rather than simply heavy. A compelling direction for someone seeking depth, with an unusual savory edge.
