Nose
Quite concentrated, fruit compote, with plums, vanilla and orange blossom. Red berries, red grapes, and soft drying oak deliver an inviting sweet and fruity smell with a touch of spice and nuttiness.
Palate
A sweet winey start, then drying slightly before more plums and vanilla flavours, some citrus and a malty core. Light and peachy flavours with cherry blossom and stone fruits, and a decent malty flavour with light oak and vanilla oak.
Finish
Mellow and winey with a spicy, lingering tail. A gentle oaky tingle lingers with a lasting plain chocolate note, opulent, and citrusy.
