Tasting Notes
Starts watery and nicely sweet, also thin, herbal and malty notes, , then some (unripe) plum sourness, slight numbness on the tongue, - much more mellow in Zini, incense smokeyness, remains malty watery with pronounced qi in the chest area. Later on more and more of the ‚forest sweetness‘,
In a Sentence
