Tasting Notes

Smells savoury, shifting moment by moment from rye breadcrumbs to ripe papaya drenched in freshly squeezed sweet orange. Orange blossom, cool mint, camphor, electric lime, umeboshi plums. Piercingly clean, piercingly linear, piercingly slender – a line of fine bitterness drawn with a smoke-tipped pen along a ruler made of pressed rock. Indescribably elegant. I want to press my bones so deeply into this wine that they become etched with its diamond-tip-sketched fractals. (TC) 20%
