Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweet, really sweet. Wood sap, fresh cut wood. A cold tea herbal edge. Flat\rdandelion and burdock.

Palate

Cloying and sticky. That dandelion and burdock and cold tea overwhelms everything. Until more sweetness arrives followed by more.

Finish

Sweet.

Comment

Not one for me but I am sure the sweet toothed out there will like it.
