An unfiltered deep caramel body topped by an active, well-laced off white head. Nose is fruity with caramel, celery and a noticeable acidity. The wine barreling counterbalances the classic sweet caramel and fruity notes. Herbal and spicy undertones are also apparent. Some melon and green apple in the finish. Nice density but not too sticky. Out on an unusual limb here, but very enjoyable.
