Top Notes For
Jakub Kalinowski

Nice spicy nose, full of exotic notes (ground black pepper, anise, nutmeg, vanilla cinnamon), a bit of white pear plus a touch of honeycomb cake. Exotic & ripe yet very fresh.


Hits the palate quite bold & self assertive - honeyed grilled peaches and (over)ripe cantaloupe with a healthy pinch of nutmeg & vanilla then the mineral & juicy acidity cuts through bringing balance and leading towards a long mineral, salty finish. Quite layered & complex. And yet highly drinkable.
A very nice one!
