Nose
a very waxy and greasy start (sunflower oil, paraffin and pollen), mixed with vanilla and hay. Fresh baguettes. Hints of banana milkshake and stewed yellow apples. Heather honey and sweet herbs. Flashes of mango and pineapple come by, as well as some moist oak.
Palate
the same oily, fatty style, mixing greasy leather with golden apples, dried pear peelings and bananas. Behind this is a spiciness with peppercorns and cinnamon, as well as a slightly yeasty bread note. Developing drier and slightly more austere, mineral notes towards the end.
Finish
quite long, taking the mineral notes further, with a gentle bitter edge, some zesty citrus and dried herbs.
