Another famous one? Sort of?

Nose: a sort of wet paper, minerals and then out of nowhere...blue ranch-spicey cheese doritos.

Palate: light body, surprisingly very smooth, initial palate is nutty, minerally, mid palate removes that dusty mouthfeel and makes it more sweet, time reveals pineapples, grapefruits, apples, pears, a sort of tropical bouquet, seems like there is some burnt wood or smoke in there as well, gets oily with time, back palate is... like eating blue ranch doritos, along with baked tropical fruit pie residue, and also a sort of minerally water as in the type you find at public swimming pools.

Finish: medium, tropical fruit but mostly pineapples, and omg dare I say... durian? longans and lychees, cereal.

What an interesting one, it does have a good pineapple influence, but also I feel a sort of smoke or burnt wood element in the end phases as well. Definitely one of the more unique BN's out there, not that I've had many non-sherried ones. Finally, a tropical one.
