Vanilla, pastry, apricot and honey make for a generous sweet opening, but this is not simply a sugar parade. Citrus, grass and deeper spices bring welcome counterweight, while the palate’s waxes and mineral oils add a more savoury edge. The long, lemony finish keeps that balance going, with sweet grass and drying oak rather than an endlessly sugary fade. A layered, warmly appealing character, with enough contrast to keep the sweeter notes interesting.
