Very distinctive nose. Quite nutty with almonds and pecans. Praline, pecan pie, a big brioche note and espresso.
Moderate mouthfeel. Again it's again very distinctive and very nutty, but some youthful notes hold it back. A touch of youthful heat is here, joined by big walnut and almond character with a cool tiramisu note that I’m digging. Big brioche note again.
Short to medium finish concludes with charcoal, praline and faint nuttiness.
This tastes on the young side, but it has loads of potential and is pretty darn enjoyable as is.
