Tasting Notes

"The nose is a pleasantly fiery mix of smoked ham, burning rosemary, and flaming autumn leaf pile with fruity overtones of raspberry and blueberry. The peatiness on the palate is surprisingly mellower than the nose would suggest, with the smoky, meaty flavors integrating with those of dark chocolate, grapefruit peel, leather, savory herbs, and orange blossom florals. The finish is long, balanced, and doesn't feel too heavy or rich despite all the different flavor components. "
