Tasting Notes

Nose

A complex nose with the evolving aromas of sappy pine, fresh thyme and lime zest. The aroma of freshly zested orange sits in the background with the faintest hint of waxy lemon.

Palate

The palate has great precision yet generosity with a strong juniper backbone that is complemented by charred lemon, pineapple and grapefruit.

Finish

A subtle floral character extends into the finish but is overcome by the pervasive juniper which pushes out into a long, dry and satisfying conclusion.
