The aroma of minerality is unmistakable with agave and subtle sweet potato essence, accompanied by a hint of vanilla, a touch of mint, and a gentle nuttiness with wood undertones. There is a trace of salt, though it never leans into brininess. On the palate, cedar emerges first, distinct and ever-present. Crisp mint and lemongrass follow behind minerality and citrus. The cooked agave is present in scent and taste. A warm, roasted pecan note develops gradually, adding a toasted quality. The finish lingers with lime citrus and a fresh green note, both carried by the persistent minerality. A touch of dryness appears toward the end. “vine, vi, conquisté” should be the motto of this particular release.
