Nose: Little Debbies oatmeal creme pie / vanilla It’s It oatmeal ice cream sandwich. Ripe juicy red plum and cassis. Kir royal vibes. Ripe fruit, which sounds amazing except I hate biting into them. Freaking ruins my clothes. I’m on the firm fruit band wagon. Keep your mushy bananas and soft peaches in your underwear. Creamy and sweet. Tangerine + strawberries and cream with shredded mint.
Palate: Sip 1. Oh yeah. Pour more of the sample. Peach popsicle. Tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Loads of dried citrus peel, takes you on a bitter path. I’ve always been quite partial to a solid wood whallop and this is just right, which means it’s almost overwhelming for Ryan. Xmasmas is coming and for me that means the gingerbread aisle… pfeffernusse for the win. Honey, white pepper and ginger ahoy.
Rating: 7 / 10 – an excellent core line bottle from Echlinville, hunt any remaining down.
