Nose: Almond kernel pudding takes center stage, accompanied by mild caramel and creamy vanilla. Soft, sweet and wonderfully inviting.
Taste: Full bodied. Rich and soft, with a delicate fruitiness that adds a lovely freshness to the creamy sweetness. Gentle and nicely balanced.
Finish: Medium long. A playful fizziness emerges, bringing a lively contrast to the otherwise soft and rich character. Caramel sweetness lingers, accompanied by a gentle hint of honey in the end.
Comment: Delightfully comforting.
