  • Good, but not something that really has me enthralled. That said, I bet this would be great in a weird fucked up martini with that awesome olive note.

  • Nose:

    Rich, grassy, floral. Lightly glue like, honey, kalamata olive, light vinegar, faint earth.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel. Faint pinprick of ethanol. Beet, vanilla, onion, olive, sweet honey. Light earth. Lovely.

  • Finish:

    Short, lightly astringent. Faint acidity. Lemons, pear, light glue, faint earth. Not super bold, but interesting and unique.

  • Overall:

    Good, but not something that really has me enthralled. That said, I bet this would be great in a weird fucked up martini with that awesome olive note.
