Nose: Rich and powerful, brine forward and lightly acidic. Faint hit of cocktail onion, clay, minerality. Bright, savory, enticing.

Taste: Thin mouth feel, but crisp, bright, just loaded with flavor. Clay, melon, honey, anise candies, pepper. Lovely and complex.

Finish: Long finish with lots of minerality, a hint of ethanol, some faint smoke and a bright citrus and cream note.

Overall: Wow, this is really great. Not something Id peg for an Espadin blind, its loaded with so much complexity and flavor, with a really fascinating nose. Im a big fan here, and Rezpiral continues to demonstrate their ability to bring some of the very best to market.

Thanks for reading!
