Member Ratings and Notes
Fuji
 

Astringent dragon well tea leaves, melted charred butter, rusty metal, sun baked rock/ earth, grilled lemon and iodine.

Nice oily texture. Cohesive mix of citrus, tangy fruit, and toasted malt. Burning peat and plastic wrap emerge mid palate.

Bitter BBQ mixed with lemon salted asparagus and zuccini on the lingering finish.

 

B+/B

Andy
 

n: Buttery peat. Nice and complex

 

p:  Buttered toast and potting soil.  Light asphalt.  Sweetness disappears in the finish that is otherwise decently long and flavorful.  A nice peater that doesn't go overboard in any aspect. 

Ries
 
Very phenolic (oil and plastic), evergreen sap, sour grape, with a earthy soot backbone. Nice brown butter in the medicinal finish.
