Meaty, gamey, mineral and very floral. Killer nose. Palate less killer. A bit dirty.

Dec 9th, 2020Super fruity nose; jammy red fruit. Black pepper, mild tar, tart cranberry, lil mushroom, red apple skin, very mild dust, tiny bit licorice, mild sweetness on palate followed by medium grip. Lacked finish and complexity. 13'
