On the nose, brown sugar, candied green apple. Coconut sugar on the end. On the palate - the PX sweet stone fruits initiate everything followed swiftly by green apples and a mixture of tannins and powerful oaky spices. Pink peppercorn; black pepper. Finish - the bitter notes alongside the pepper remain far longer than anything else, although a finish of honey crisp emerges in the aftermath. The pepper sticks around, but everything else diminishes relatively quickly. This tasting was without water, but with just a few drops, I found it toned down some of the tannins & pepper to bring more of the sweetness to the front.
