This sounds gently sweet rather than forceful, with peach and plum leading into a light fruitcake character from the sherry influence. I like that the notes keep some restraint: the straw-like nose and delicate spice give the sweeter details a little contrast, rather than making this seem all about richness. There’s no documented tea or herbal edge to draw me in, but the fruit and candied sweetness still make for an appealing, light-leaning character.
