Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Briny, vivid nose of crème brûlée, damp moss, wildflower honey, tangerine peel, and Marcona almonds. The palate opens with citrus fruits and brioche before brown sugar and salty sea smoke rush forward and endure on the finish dotted by caramel and cocoa.
