Saturday, December 1, 2012 - Expecting nothing but fruit from the beginning, I was shocked when smoke was the first thing to touch my nose. It certainly wasn’t peaty, but it has this recently extinguished campfire smell that was just sensational. It continued with licorice, plum skin, cassis, bumbleberry pie, charred meat and sandalwood. The palate was silky, almost the same viscosity as whipping cream. On the back end I started picking up vanilla milk, maple sugar, candy hearts, sunflower seeds, apricot pit and graphite.
