5 Tasting Notes
First infusion: Wet leaves, smell very floral. Lily, orchid, and hint of jasmine. Undercurrent of overripe fruit. Maybe peach and a little strawberry. Old book pages / not unpleasant. Light tan / yellow liquor. Not much scent on liquor – immediate tannic bite, dissipates quickly. Trails off to lasting sweetness. Mild / pleasant. Some fruit at back of palate. 2nd – more raisin. On the nose of the leaves, fresh farm summer days. Dark golden color. Pleasant, velvety body, very subtle aroma. Slight cooling after swallows, pleasant lingering presence but no astringency. Pleasant woodiness.
