A strange yet enticing combination of ash and pear drops, very, very estery.
Palate:
Pleasingly dry, a bare hint of sweetness with strong earthy spice and a sharp, exciting acidity.
Finish:
Strangely soft and delicately sweet, a complete transformation from the palate, for such a bold, almost aggressive start the finish is almost winsome. For a long time after the roof of the mouth tingles pleasantly reminiscent of Szechuan pepper.
