The sugary citrus and salty brine give the nose a brighter edge, while figs, orange sorbet and light peat make the palate feel richer. That contrast is appealing, though it leans more rounded and sherried than fresh.
teacup owl20 MayThe strongest pull is the contrast between the fruit and the drier, more savoury edges. Peach, cherry and sugary citrus sit alongside salty brine and herbal sherry on the nose, while the palate turns to figs, burnt sugar, light peat and earthy oak. Pepper carries through to a long, drying finish. That balance gives this a thoughtful, slightly rugged character.
Oily texture, with fruit and spice in balance.
