Do not panic if you smell this unless you are holding a glass of a crisp and fresh style. This savory and earthy aroma is actually the superstar of mature styles that intentionally invite a little air to the party. It tastes rich and slightly bitter so think of that grippy sensation you get from the skin of the nut itself. It adds a delicious and toasted layer to the glass that makes the whole experience feel instantly more sophisticated. This nutty depth acts as a bold anchor that keeps the profile from feeling too light or simple. You get a grounded and savory finish that ensures every sip feels polished and intentional without needing to actually use a nutcracker.
