The nose moves from dried plum and citrus peel toward guava chiffon cake and green apple, with resin and pepper arriving over time. On the palate, salted plum and guava jam meet a more unusual metal-polish note, then ginger and black pepper carry through to woody stone-fruit pits. That fruit-to-spice progression gives it shape; the metal-polish note makes the palate less straightforward. The green-apple detail is a point in its favor.
