Rainwater clear and pure. Smells of chalk/limestone and grain kernels in the initial sniffings; six more minutes of air contact do nothing to expand on the dry earth aromatic theme; a simple, unexceptional bouquet. The palate entry is intensely grainy, medium oily, and wheat cracker-like; at the mid palate point, a huge rush of sweet, smoky charcoal overtakes the graininess, setting up the ashy/sooty/wood smoke finish.
