The nose opens with gentle smoke, ripe pineapple, orange peel, and sun-dried herbs.

On the palate, it is clean, vibrant, and layered. Roasted agave sweetness leads, followed by grilled citrus, crushed mint, and a touch of peppery heat. A flicker of minerality keeps everything taut.

The finish is medium-long and mouthwatering, with subtle salinity.
