Characteristics

Poured into a glass, the flavor is very peppery and smoky, contrary to the impression of the aroma, which makes even non-fans want to exclaim in admiration. The taste is very peppery and smoky, contrary to the impression of the aroma, and the gentle but firm nuance of smoke lingers on the palate for a long time.

Contrary to the impression of the aroma, the palate is very peppery and smoky. A salty taste develops on the palate and gives way to a smoky but harmonious sweetness and acidity, like smoked chili chocolate or paprika.
As the nuances of burnt oak and roasted tea leaves soften, a fresh, salty sweetness emerges.
