Tasting Notes
"Aromas of smoked, briny seaweed, flaming rosemary and sage, dark chocolate, and balsamic vinegar emanate from the glass. The palate is meaty, though not traditional smoked meats–rather the taste of smoked fowl (chicken, duck), along with flavors of sweet tomato paste, soy sauce, and vinegar. Sweeter, richer flavors of milk chocolate and red apple tie the savory, umami flavors together toward a long, smoky, salty-sweet finish. "
