Nose: Freaking nutella. Even the smell of it after all these years makes me flinch. Not enough people know that you can poison yourself on nutella just like you can with alcohol. If you are 8 years old and eat a gallon of that spread. But for everyone who thinks it smells amazing, chocolate hazelnut butter. Under that richness is a potent nose crinkler. Turnips? Pink peppercorn. Slightly under ripe raspberries. And dried wood varnish, the day after I apply it to the sauna bench. Which is my new pride and joy. I know I basically live in the tropics, but there is something amazing to a legit steam room that soothes my soul and makes me full of joy.

Palate: The biscuits they serve with coffee, or on airplanes. Can’t remember the name for the life of me, but it’s sorta butter n cabinet spices… approaching graham crackers. Unripe honeydew melon. With its potential for vast sweetness with a tart twist thrown in. Touch of caramel and vanilla. Smack of oak, noticeable without overwhelming but mighty present. Finish has a nice spice vibe, nutmeg and light touch of cloves..

Rating: 6 / 10 – lovely. Fun palate with plenty to offer. The notes kind of fight with each other rather than harmonizing
