ABV: 49.8%

Finish: Medium length finish. Warm, earthiness, fresh cut grass, black pepper, minerality

Rating: 7/10

Overall, a great bottling. Thick oily mouthfeel, great range of flavors leaning heavily into the savory side with all of the minerality, pepper, and rubbery notes. This is a great bottling for me.
