Nose
Full-bodied aroma with jammy berries, plums, banana skins, lemon curd, and a backdrop of toffee and vanilla buttercream. Tangible minerality, salt water, and pine needles are also present.
Palate
Extremely rich and balanced, with a lively and spicy mouthfeel, black pepper, ginger, nutmeg, and aniseed. Coastal notes of pickled olives, grilled scallops, wet rocks, salt, and intense, full-bodied smoke are evident, alongside sweet fruit, custard, citrus marmalade, and red berries.
Finish
Long, delicate, and complex, with piquant pepperiness, mentholated oak, lingering salinity, smoke, red fruits, citrus, and a balsamic note.
