Description

This one gave off immediate 'earthy potting shed' energy. We all found, to varying degrees, notes of lanolin, clay, herb butter, chai tea and pine tree bark. A touch of leather polish was also noted. Reduction brought the sooty and earthier depths right to the fore, with dried cupboard spices, ginger and lemon tea, and mineral oils. The palate opened with an elegant herbal quality, backed by brittle waxiness, warming peppery notes and cooling menthol qualities such as tea tree oil and wintergreen. Water ushered in citronella wax, eucalyptus, bergamot and a gentle medicinal and herbal fusion. Lots to enjoy in this one we agreed.
