You can see through this liquid jewel like a piece of pomegranate colored tissue paper ~ wafting musky aromas reminiscent of walking out of a florist that also sells potpourri into a loamy earthen pasture ~ a flash of crunchy and vivid tart red berries quickly melds into a wild berry patch which is then dominated by said loamy earth, crushed minerals and a dusting of powdery pastilles

Feb 10th, 2019Very funky nose, with notes of struck matches and sulphur. Floral and peppery notes. Light to medium-bodied, very delicate on the palate. Dry, mineral. Unique. Very elegant. Much more complex than the Susucaru (also volcanic) I tasted next to
