Tasting Notes(1)
4.2
Super delicate on the nose - floral and strawberry-driven, with lovely flecks of sea breeze and fragrant wood smoke. The intensity is there, but it still feels ethereal on the palate. A touch of fermentation character, some yellow fruit, a bit of fuzziness around the edges. Honestly, it's intriguing, but still feels a little hollow for now.
