Nose

Immediate complex phenolics: dried crab shells, rock pools, wet seaweed,\rDutch salted liquorice, woodsmoke, chili, barbecued peppers and in time\rengine oil.

Palate

The oily quality coats the tongue. Not just about the smoke but a\rwelling up of languorous, rich fruits which mix with shore, violet, laurel\r(bog myrtle) Ever-changing.

Finish

Ripe, long and complex.

Comment
