Nose – Creme Brule crust. Smoked gruyere.
Palate – At first, a combination of lime-lime soda and minerality, like drinking 7up out of a clay cup. Smoky vanilla bean in a very, long tasty finish. A floral / flower stem bitterness in the aftertaste and a bit hot on the back end for 47%. All in all, a great ensamble by Lalo.
