Nose: Vegetal and interesting – celery salt, tomato, faint nuttiness, pepper, cream.

Taste: Sweet and citrus forward. Pepper, some clay, earthy soil.

Finish: Long, ashy, soil forward and loaded with creme, salt, pepper, some faint vegetal notes and ash.

Overall: Wow – the celery salt note here is super fun and really intrigues my palate. The combination of vegetal notes, salinity and soil works really well here.

Thanks for reading!
