Citrus on the nose with a sweet honey subtext. But there’s some overtones of cooked onions and eggplant on the nose. I can’t explain tbis because it’s not a musty corkage scent. The Intense frontal assault on the tongue overwhelms any of the umami notes on the nose. A distinct taste of Peaches on the front of the palate with lemon zest on the mid palate. Intense flower and citrus finish. I need to try another bottle to see if those umami notes were an anomaly.
