Nose
Light sweets, deck shoes worn without socks. The cologne my father wore in 2003.
Palate
Dodecahedron. The faintest soupçon of asparagus and just a flutter of Edam cheese. Elderberries picked by left-handed people on a cool Wednesday morning. Flavors unfold with a smooth, rounded texture, highlighting subtle notes of caramel, vanilla, and delicate spice.
Finish
Warm. Beans. Long and graceful, with lingering impressions of light oak and mellow fruit.
