- Nose
- The smell of cola after you've put a Twizzler in it to use as a straw, burnt cedar, caramel chocolate cake, cinnamon walnut cake, cherry loaf, lemon cookies, almond biscotti. It's an odd nose. Cake forward, if that's a thing. Sugar laden maybe even, but with balanced acid notes, nutty elements, and overall not too sweet.
- Palate
- Almond cream, salt/anchovy, strawberry wine, plum, creme brulee, rum cake. Odd. Alright, I can't just write odd. But this is odd. I mean, on the one hand, it has a very sprite-y taste, with lighter notes of the nose. Then it has these rich parts that seem to be divorced from the lighter ones, and the kids are not having a good time, if you get my meaning. But there's also this big brine element that blends with the rich part like a step parent.
- Finish
- Caramel, blast of dry pear, yeast, watermelon sorbet, lemon loaf batter, fennel grape salad, leather, dried fruit, alcohol. Long finish. Very long. High quality dram long. The first couple of sips this just has caramel. However almost as if made by chemists who are also artists, it opens up on the third sip with a ton of wine flavours, spice, and a big dried fruit note.
