Nose: Peat smoked gummi bears on a bed of sea salt, combined with violet notes, green kitchen herbs, and a touch of dusty oak
Palate: Initially smoky and dry with salt-kissed Riesling notes, transitioning into a surprisingly creamy mouthfeel featuring soft caramel, medicinal brine, and nuts
Finish: Well-rounded and pleasant, leaving lingering green herbal notes, a bit of oaky tannins, and a gentle reappearance of seaside peat smoke.
