Tasting notes:
Nose: Crisp and fresh on the nose. The initial perfumed burst is of sweet berry / juniper and assorted fresh citrus peel; further aeration releases pine needle, lavender and clove-like scents. Distinctive and somewhat unconventional, some tasters found the aromatics a little cologne like.
Palate: Complex, robust & powerful, very spicey, full fruity/herby flavour. Clean Citrus start gives way to pine and wood notes.
Finish:Dry balance of all components, persisting into the long, dry after taste.
