- Nose
- Initially closed, then leafy, musty, and damp notes, evolving to nutty, tart apple, zesty lemon, floral sweetness, plum sauce, apricot, and toasted oak.
- Palate
- Concentrated lemon, brown sugar, and pineapple jam with a rich texture. Notes of nutty/beany, apricot, allspice, ginger, salted caramel, butter tart, vanilla cream, and a hint of coconut.
- Finish
- Long, with a sharp fruit crescendo fading to nutty and saline notes. Also medium-long, slightly bitter and drying, with orchard fruit, yellow stone fruit, wet pebbles, oak, and a little chocolate.
