Nose starts with pine nuts, slightly floral, very mineral, with hints of roasted agave emerging more clearly with aeration. The taste is intensely mineral with flashes of baking chocolate and very subtle mint. The finish brings more mineral, wet cement, and earthiness, fading into a long, dusty conclusion like an old book.

I found it too harsh. It burns a bit too much when you taste it, with a mineral-like smell and flavor.
Earthy and a bit rustic. Smooth.
mild aroma and very little taste
Wow.
