Nose
Sweet vanilla notes with ripe pear and subtle banana leading on to the palate. A delicate floral note will develop over a backdrop of pastry notes, custard-cream and caramel.
Palate
Rich and soft. The oak brings complex spices and structure to the nose, creamy corn flavours, coating the palate and perfectly integrating with the fruit.
Finish
Long and elegant, with a hint of spice, oak, hazelnut and refreshing balsamic notes that balance the opulent body.
