Tasting Notes

"The nose is rather grassy and herbal, with fruity notes of green apple, pear skin and campfire smoke. The palate is a striking balance of fresh herbs such as sage, tarragon, dill, and thyme mixed with hints of baked apples and pears as well as smoked ham and cloves (think savory fruit tart baked with lardons and herbs). It's surprisingly bright, with fresh fruitiness poking through and only a subtle puff of sweet smoke. The finish is long and delicate, with salty fruit notes mingling with the fading smoke. "
