Nose: Vinegar, salt and pepper. Beets, earthy, sour and lactic. Earthy terroir is really prominent here as well as some grass, floral, fruitiness.

Taste: Medium mouth feel, some heat. Faintly smoky (ashy) with some pepper. Sweet cream, burnt rubber. Really interesting juxtaposition of smoky and sweet.

Finish: Short, peppery and smoky with a faint vanilla and citrus character on the exit.

Overall: This is definitely unique, and good, but it wasnt my favorite so far.

Thanks for reading!
