Nose: Bright, potent, powerful. Honey, floral notes like jasmine and lavender. Wild peppers and cedar. Acidic and bright.

Taste: Rests heavy on the palate, complex with plenty going on. Slate, bell pepper, rainwater and bright fruit like apples, pears, kiwi. Creamy on the back palate, light on smoke, a bit of cedar.

Finish: Long finish that leans meaty, funky, savory and terroir driven.

Overall: Delightful. Aquilano, you produced some elegant batches.

Thanks for reading!
