Begins smelling of toasted pine nuts and linseed oil in the initial sniffings and then heady notes of beeswax, burning rubber, rubber pencil eraser and lard are added. The palate entry displays subtle notes of cocoa oil and lignin; at midpalate the flavor profile becomes raisiny, dried fruit-like and even a touch buttery. Finishes delectably oily and uncomplicated.

Owns a forest floor, slightly burnt, ash-like opening aroma, following further air contact the aromatic profile shifts to hot wax, campfire embers, toasted honey wheat bread, and pork rind. The palate entry is waxy and fatty; at midpalate there’s a pleasing semisweetness. Concludes on notes of light toffee and almond paste.
