Tasting Notes
"The nose is more delicate and elegant than expected, with a combination of creamy vanilla pudding and salinity. The palate offers marzipan, peaches and a bit of tropical fruit with black pepper. Moving towards the back the phenolics kick in, with ash, asphalt, leather, and peat. The finish is brief but captivating, with peat, oyster shells, and a heap of sea salt and black pepper. "
