Nose
Sugary, milky, and dried citrus notes are present, along with hints of incense, cocoa, and butter cookie. There are also light floral notes, apple, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of poundcake or honeyed tea.
Palate
The palate is light and creamy, featuring flavors of butter cookie, green apple, bell pepper, banana, and roasted almond. Dried fruits, dark woody raisin, bitter coffee, and chocolate notes are also discernible, alongside graham crackers and a rich pudding-like quality.
Finish
The finish is generally short to medium in length, with lingering notes of sweet pastries, cocoa, toffee, and brown butter. Some detect a light smokiness and chocolate coffee.
