Nose
Fresh pour
Freshness and bright red fruit burst right after opening. Vibrant and direct.

After aeration
Herb shop, star anise, and clove emerge, layering over the fruit. A distinctly Korean spice profile adds unexpected depth.

Fresh pour
Tart-sweet acidity of pomegranate, plum jam, and fig. The juicy texture stands out.

After aeration
Deepens into raisin, dark raisin, and dried fig. Classic PX richness, but it keeps its lift instead of sinking into heaviness.

Right after
Subtle oak tannin and oily texture, with a whisper of peat smoke that refines the syrupy sweetness.

Verdict
From bright fresh-pour red fruit into layered Korean herbs and syrupy dried fruit — a bottle that shows lift and richness at once.
Lightness and density coexist in this bottle. Juicy red fruit opens, then herb shop and spice layer over, and PX dried fruit takes the center. A whisper of peat smoke refines the sweetness and keeps the balance to the end.
