    The cardamom is the tell. It opens sharp, that green, almost mentholated bite, then softens into something almost creamy over the next hour. If cardamom makes you nervous, sample first.Medina
    The rhubarb and marine notes are an unexpected pairing that actually works, tart and briny at the top. The sharp, metallic freshness of rhubarb meets the subtle salinity of sea notes.Serotonial
