- Nose
- Sweet, perfumed, and slightly acidic with strong pressed flowers, tree saps, banana peel, and a hint of wood glue. Greenish fruit notes of white grape, lime zest, unripe pineapple, and pear, alongside richer flavours of brioche, peanuts, and hardwood logs. Mild, fresh, and lightly fruity with lychee, green apple, orange zest, and buttery pastry, with a light spicy note from wine-seasoned wood. Meadow flowers and honey emerge with water.
- Palate
- Medium-thick texture, gently arriving off-sweet with green banana, orange pith, and plums. Dusty in the middle, developing to roasted almonds, beeswax, and icing-sugar-dusted French toast, with a hit of black pepper. Red wine notes bring moderate fine tannins. Soft, creamy-smooth, and full-textured, with sweet toffee, fragrant Parma violets, winey red apple, pear fruit, and crisp, clean oak. Floral, orange blossom, peaches, cinnamon, honey, and red fruits like pineapple, with toffee, dulce de leche, and salted caramel.
- Finish
- Medium, with red-wine tannins and redder fruit, fresh laundry, orange blossoms, black pepper-spiked honey, green tea, chalky, musky, lingering graphite, and sweet lime. Short, sweet, clean, and warming, with lingering perfume. Smoother with water, revealing a pinch of white pepper and a final burst of green apple. Sweet vanilla, stone fruit, small toffee pieces, salted caramel, and acid fruits.
