- Nose
- Orchard fruits, green herbs, a pinch of salt, toasted almonds, shortbread, and sweet biscuits.
- Palate
- Full-bodied, peppery, rich and creamy with balanced fruitiness, hints of oak and vanilla. Sweet notes of strawberry custard tart and vanilla, becoming oily with a maritime feel.
- Finish
- Long and lovely balance of spices, sweet fruits, and tempered oakiness, with sweet espresso and traces of wood smoke.
