In the glass
You notice apple and banana first with honeysuckle, rose, and a hint of cultured butter underneath. The palate opens slowly, silky and layered, with dried strawberry and nuts threading through a seamless balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity. And even though it's clean and dry, the finish tends to hang around you longer than you expected.
