Clear color. Aromas and flavors of chlorophyl, claro tobacco, sautéed bamboo shoots, and green apple and flowers with a velvety, bright, dryish medium body and a warming, medium-length finish revealing notes of green apple and tart melon, barbeque sauce on banana walnut corn bread, smoked brisket, and chrysanthemum. Sweet, smoky, and umami managerie of flavor that keeps pulling you in to try more even when you can’t define it.
