Oi, is the series an indication of the taste? There are several batches of this that taste different in nuances. Let's blow something up, yeah!
Nose: Wow wow, immediately after pouring basket full of tropical fruits, mango, papaya, the whole melon family, kiwi, some fir, acacia honey. Fire from birch bark - some 10 m away. 30 min: Vanilla and other bright flowers support the mission. I like you. You don't fit in here either. Some Turkish delight, I was hoping for the whole squad, but you'll do. Honeydew melon takes the lead, a star fruit doesn't know where to go.
Mouth after 40 min: cinnamon and ginger heat, sharbat. Curry and other Asian spices, but only hesitantly.
Finish: surprisingly long sweet finish, some white pepper lingers on the palate. A little tannin still wriggles in the throat and disappears. Some oil films out. Wax covers the teeth but dries up. Grassy. Let's leave the glasses a little longer. Good soldiers follow orders.
Nose after 1h: Hay, a walk through the Lüneburg Heath, just before the big bloom. Heidschnucken have passed by... - and two e-bikers, a bit sweaty.
Mouth: A tropical fruit salad with a little sunflower oil, some grated coconut, grated with white violet and whole milk tonka chocolate. In the dressing, elderflower syrup and some citrus fruits. Change takes getting used to. You'll see. Just give it time.
Finish: Oaky, ginger lingers. It's okay to break the rules sometimes. A shoe polisher from Istanbul works diligently in the mouth.
With water - what for? The war is over. Depends on when you read this. There's always war somewhere. We try 1 tsp: Oi, nose gets extremely faint but stays fresh, meadow after a light shower. Many flowers in spring compete for the favour of bees. Other insects get some too. In the mouth, oak dominates, something about roasted in a sesame coat. Some vanilla pudding with chilli mixed in. Vegan coconut cream topping. The finish shortens, cinnamon nutmeg ginger clove spiciness, just a reminiscence.
