A striking lineup of scents, including ripe plum, dried violets, and sandalwood, takes one’s breath away. Black pepper alights gently on dark plum as base notes of clove and cedar mingle. Grilled meats burst in on the satin-textured palate, and a tingle of spice is left behind on the dense and lengthy finish.
