TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of earth, bread dough, and chili with supporting notes of mushroom, smoke, and citrus. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering an agave-driven core with flavors of sourdough bread, baked agave, and clay. The finish is crisp with citrus zest accents. Full-bodied and largely balanced with a silky texture.
