Nose: Almond, cashew, honey. Light clay, some faint pepper. Light banana. A little restrained on the nose.

Taste: Honey, light confectioners sugar. Light brine. Some faint earth. That fun cashew note is back. Pepper.

Finish: Medium in length. Loads of minerality, smoke, clay and earth. Dry and peppery. The fruit and sweetness is gone.

Overall: Interesting but not for me I don’t think. The finish is a bit dry, and earthy.

Thanks for reading!
