Nose
Rich and complex, with honeycomb, dried fruits (including orange peel), malt, a complete flower bouquet, tangerine, peach, and some acid notes of citrus.
Palate
Big mouthfeel and a sweet taste, drying, with light acidity. Medium- to full-bodied, with notes of pear, spicier elements (pepper, vanilla), caramelised fruits, rich spice, soft vanilla, delicate ginger spice, citrus zing, honey, dark chocolate, and oak tannins.
Finish
Spices linger with slightly bitter notes (cloves, chocolate). Soft and unassuming, not too short and not too long, with a rich and spicy mouth coating and a luscious oak sweetness.
