Nose: wow. And a few minutes later: WOW. Dark chocolate with a fruity centre. Hints of cecina (cured and smoked cow meat, typical of León in Spain). Well balanced between sweet, smoked and savory. Won…

Nose: Fresh fruity nose mainly limes and grapefruits. A big waxy profile which i am fast becoming a big fan of. Theres also a light peaty, mineral side to it. Taste: Very much in keeping with the nose…
