Delicately sweet-savory. Lemon zest, almond, dried apricot, cedar, honeysuckle in aroma and cup. Quietly lively acidity; lightly satiny mouthfeel. The crisply sweet finish consolidates to lemon zest and cedar in the short; honeysuckle resurfaces in the long.
Very sweet, delicately rich. Lychee, hazelnut, roasted cacao nib, honeysuckle, cedar in aroma and cup. Balanced, lightly juicy acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Lychee and roasted cacao nib go long in the sweet, resonant finish.
Balanced, sweet, subtly rich. Lavender, dark chocolate, date, vanilla in aroma and cup. Round, juicy acidity; plush, nectar-like mouthfeel. The short finish consolidates around lavender notes which persist into the richly drying long.
Spicy, sweetly herb-toned. Eucalyptus, hazelnut, orange bitters, black peppercorn in aroma and cup. Brisk, juicy acidity; lean, satiny mouthfeel. The richly drying finish shows eucalyptus and hazelnut in the short and black peppercorn in the long.
Delicate, rich, savory. Honey, almond butter, green apple, lemon zest, marjoram in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. Lemon zest and almond in the resonant, richly drying short finish give way to faint marjoram notes in the long.
