Nick's experience

“The first taste hits with a bold rush of green almond, followed by a full, fruity depth that settles naturally on the palate. As you breathe it in, the herbal notes open up artichoke, tomato leaf. On the tongue, the structure is firm and confident, carrying a clean balance of bitterness and spiciness that builds gradually and lingers in the best way.
Crux feels intense, with a long, steady finish you keep noticing even minutes later. It pairs well with hearty, spicy soups and it stands up beautifully to baked or grilled meats, adding lift, heat, and clarity to every bite”
