Tasting Notes
"Campfire smoke and chocolate combine on the nose in smores-like fashion, with baked apples and agave. The palate is oily and phenolic with burnt rubber, asphalt, and diesel, along with roasty agave, black pepper, and limes. The finish is sharp, with bell peppers, light vanilla, and lemongrass. All told, it's lacking balance and depth. "
