Nose

Smoky and quite dry with a hint of rubber suggesting youth. Underneath this is a subtle perfume: moist banana, cumin powder.

Palate

Oak and smoke but there's dried peel, crème brûlée, orange peel and tropical fruit in the centre. Youth showing still.

Finish

Light smoke.

Comment

Not Yoichi at its most full-blooded and a little gawky but worth a look.
