Nose: Earthy and fruit-driven, evoking damp forest floor and mellow vanilla. Subtle oakiness provides structure, while time reveals softer layers of milk chocolate and red berries.

Taste: Full bodied and lively. Fizzy and peppery up front, then spicy and grounded in earthiness. Bright red berries follows.

Finish: Medium length. More warm, earthy tones and juicy red fruit. A comforting yet peculiar combination that lingers.

Comment: A stranger in a strange land.
