Blimey, this one's quite the journey. First impression is actually very nice, got some lovely bananas in there, like a slightly overripe fruit salad. A few sips in and it shifts, there's a definite inky, wet newspaper vibe, you know? Like a rainy Sunday. Then it opens up with these fruitier tones, reminds me of a bakery first thing in the morning. But underneath, there's something else... a bit of smoky porridge, and weirdly, a pencil eraser. Totally needs water, mind you. A few drops and the charcoal comes through properly, with quite a lot of pepper on the tail end. It's a strange one. There's a bitter herbs note, maybe even a hint of metal polish, and the finish has this mashed celeriac earthiness. Altogether though? Unexpextedly civilised for such a strange flavour profile. Medium body, I'd say. Something to ponder at 4:30am. 🤔

Had a go at this one neat first – crikey, it was a bit of a shock! Soot and charcoal with engine oil and wet newspaper on the nose. Bitter herbs too, quite sharp. Definitely totally needed water. 💧 Popped in a drop, and it transformed. Suddenly got these lovely fruitier tones, guavas and papayas, with bakery notes of brioche dough. Vanilla sweetness came through, even a hint of pink bananas? Maybe that's just me. Drop of honey balanced it out. Very nice indeed, best use of water I've found. 😊

凌晨四点半独自倒了一杯，居然有种莫名的安心感。闻起来像潮湿的旧报纸混着木炭，还有点机油似的厚重感。 尝一口，纯饮的时候烟熏味重得像煤灰，舌头有点涩。加了几滴水立刻打开新世界——突然冒出番石榴和木瓜的热带甜香，还有一丝金属抛光剂的亮闪闪感觉。 后段是烧焦的木头慢慢化成草药苦味，但底下压着一缕蜂蜜的温柔。这酒性格有点分裂啊…不过现在喝着倒是意外地顺了。😅 （对了，粉红香蕉到底什么味？下次想试试配那个）

刚开瓶直接喝，确实有点冲，烟熏味很重，像是一堆湿了的炭火。说实话，totally needs water，加几滴水进去完全不一样了，这就是best use of water。 加水后，有股bitter herbs和charcoal混合的味道出来了，酒体是medium。你得细品，底下有brioche dough那种发酵的面团香，还有点croissant dough的黄油感。再往后，居然浮上来一些papayas的熟果甜，和一滴drop of honey。 这烟熏感很特别，不是那种清新的，而是smoky porridge，像凌晨4:30am壁炉里快要熄灭的灰烬味，混着一丝engine oil的厚重感。回味里居然有pencil eraser的味道，挺奇妙的。😌

打开瓶先闻到好多水果香，还有点香草甜味。但直接喝的话……机油味也太重了吧，还混着金属抛光剂那种涩涩的苦。说实话有点冲，完全得加点水才行。 滴了几滴水后真的不一样！突然就柔了好多，水果味都出来了，像热带水果混着蜂蜜甜，隐约还有点烤面包的香气？但底下还是有烟灰和烧木头的感觉，尾段居然有点辛辣的胡椒味…… 最神奇的是，你以为它就是个粗犷的家伙，喝到最后居然透出点像铅笔屑或者旧墨水的那种文雅气息。完全没想到会这样收尾。 整体就是个需要耐心的酒，加水前加水后两个样。 （最后那口居然尝到点炒过的蔬菜味？像芹菜根捣碎的感觉……奇妙）
