Nose: flash fried sage leaves, pomegranate arils and orange supremes on a fresh bed of arugula. Toss in Nasturtiums. Such a powerful interplay of floral and fruit. And the wood kicks in, tobacco leaves and nutmeg.  Such a dynamic nose.

Palate: ohhhh it’s so juicy. Tangerines and pink peppercorn. Perhaps closer to grapefruit and endives. I brought home these haribos in the shape of gems for my son from Germany this weekend. Turns out they taste like salted licorice. Sad son. But score for me as I love that shit. Good thing as it plays a strong role in this spirit. And then wood towards the finish, a hint of german rye cracker and unsweetened cacao nibs. And when I stopped thinking about it and kept drinking it while working, the warmth from the spices, nutmeg and allspice play a much larger role. The odd thing is that the mouthfeel is both perfectly balanced and yet for some reason, the slightest touch too thin and fades after a few seconds. Ideal for a summer pour.

Rating: 8 / 10 – new domain for me from Tenereze. Excellent nuance.
