A total fruit bomb with an intriguing black tea infusion. Subtle notes of wood and roasted coffee introduce a pleasant tartness and bitterness, rounded off by a distinct saline touch.
Wow, this is a beast! It opens with a sweet, fruity rush—mostly peach and pear. It then evolves into a dry, woody, and herbal profile, complemented by earthy, salty, and coffee-driven notes. Truly impressive structure.
A fantastic, long-lasting finish. Spicy and prickly/peppery, but without any harsh alcohol burn. There is a beautiful play between sweetness and saltiness; notes of orchard fruits, salted caramel, coffee, and oak linger for a long time.
