Tasting Notes

Nose

Touches of maturity. Light licks of leather, cinnamon and allspice. A citric touch akin to orange peel. Soft sweet fruits. Balanced.

Palate

Clean and graceful. More of an apple box character emerges alongside some light mintiness. Light but clean and well balanced.

Finish

Medium length. Sweet.
