- Nose
- Plenty of yellow plums, fresh flowers, slightly underripe pineapple, orange sherbet, white wine and vanilla. Lots of salty dried meats, prosciutto and melon. Some (Spanish) chorizo, butter and cheesecake. Coastal with brine pools, distant beach bonfire, and maple-glazed grilled salmon. Aromatic wood notes, new leather, white chocolate and nougat.
- Palate
- Medium body. Very intense. Musty up front, with lots of barnyard, mushroom, and black pepper, then steadily getting tarter. Leather arrives, then orange marmalade and honey. Tarter, juicier fruit: dried apricots, lemon juice, pineapple, bitter orange, and cantaloupe. Loads of mushrooms and burning dried leaves. Getting sweeter as the pineapple comes forward, then finally nutty and vegetal. Loads of earth, mushrooms, some grapefruit pith, and a hint of coffee.
- Finish
- Extremely nutty and dry. Earthy, dunnage warehouse notes and cedar, with more smoked fish and some green olives. Plums, bananas, pineapple, honey and fresh jalapenos.
