4.5
The aroma presents notes of damp stone, the smell after rain, earthy smoke akin to peat, lemon-scented laundry soap, and crushed mint leaves. The mouthfeel is rich and slightly slick. On the palate, I detect a continuation of the nose with damp stone and earthy/peaty smoke, alongside flavors of lemon zest, caramelized grapefruit, spearmint tea, and black pepper, with a subtle hint of sweet cream. The finish is lengthy, dominated by the earthy smoke, with a character reminiscent of smoked bacon, and a touch of sea brine.
