Nose
Tutti Frutti bubblegum, caramel popcorn, ripe apricots, unripe mango and passionfruit. Warm sourdough, confectioners sugar, candied almonds, tomato leaf. Italian lemon (peel), some bitter herbs.
Palate
Soft fruits; apricot jam, mango puree, ripe banana. There is a tiny hint of smoke and a gentle minerality/saltiness (think blackthorn salt). Toasted flatbread, cultured butter and more bitter herbs (like a great amaro).

Some more of those amaro herbs, with menthol, straw and some of the fruits found on the palate.
