    #4651 09.03.2024 relaxing at home with some nice samples from Roberto. Nose Fresh, faint wood, fruits, sweet, ester, vegetal. Palate Spicy, sweet, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, ester, vegetal. Finish Long, spicy, citrus, light ester. Draws nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some glue, faint floral and light caramel notes.

    Ziemlicher Kontrast zwischen Nase und Gaumen. Während aus dem Glas zunächst eine filigrane Fruchtaromatik entströmt, haut am Gaumen eine sehr präsente Röstnote dazwischen, die an verbrannten Tabak erinnert. Mir hätte eine Fortsetzung des pointierten Fruchtprofils deutlich besser gefallen, durch die Röstnoten geht leider viel der komplexen Frische verloren. Wer auf Rauchnoten steht wird hier vermutlich zu einem anderen Verdikt kommen als ich, für mich funktioniert die Rauchnote einfach zu wenig.

    Interesting flavours of forest honey and herbs going on. Better with original ABV than reduced with water.

    Fruity, light smoky smell that promises a lot, it unfortunately can not implement in the taste. Finish very short and flat. Perhaps more smoke would have improved the overall impression.
