Nose
Fragrant and fruity, with notes of ripe orchard fruits, citrus zest, vanilla, honey, and a hint of oak spice, pineapple, toasted coconut, and faint apple cider notes.
Palate
Smooth and complex, with flavors of caramelized fruits, toffee, butterscotch, dried fruits, creamy vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, juicy grapes and vanilla panna cotta.
Finish
Lingering and satisfying, with a balance of sweet and spicy notes, along with a subtle oak influence, nicely longish and very drying, with pepper, clove, and some green cardamon.
