Pretty young going off the color and nose.
The nose has that new make sour note, maybe a buttered popcorn jelly bean. Of course smoke, but more of an iodine candle by the sea than a campfire or burnt rubber. Some citrus and honey as well.
Taste is a bit like unripe orchard fruit cooked over a campfire. Some bring notes as well. Finish is long and reminds me of a tack shop. Overall, a good value and I look forward to seeing it open up over time.
