Tasting Notes

Nose

This opens with notes of varnished wood, candied oranges, and butter. It’s pungent with a light hint of bananas and new tennis balls. The orange note deepens into orange oil with hints of black tea and warm scones keeping it fresh. It’s definitely herbaceous with a note of fresh pine needle. I’m really enjoying the aromatics.

Palate

The palate is very tannic with a moderate to full-body. It’s rich in aromas of baking spices, driftwood, and dried bananas. The finish is refreshing and light with grippy tannins and lingering aromas of blond tobacco, blood orange, and cedar with a lush vanilla and pine resin note that hangs on for a minute or so. Water brings out a beautiful note like fine mineral water.
