It has a lovely nose of roasted coffee beans, nuts, malt, apple crumble and pear cake. Almond paste. Creamy butter. A lot, in fact. Something of sandwich dough. The smoke is very discreet. This is frankly speaking a great nose. After a few minutes, I have some veritable Italian cappuccino in my glass.

The taste is more of the same, but the smokiness is more outspoken. Pure woodsmoke. It is also a bit zestly, from grapefruit. Midpalate it turns somewhat bitter, but not over the top.

The finish is warm and lingering.

This is a grand Jura. I can imagine this being the favourite of many Jura aficionados, since it is also very fairly priced.
