Nose: Marzipan and dried fruits lead, followed by lighter fruitiness. Red berries and tropical fruits unfold with time, joined by a faint dusty attic note. Gradually turning waxy and creamy, even hinting at tomato vine.

Taste: Full bodied. Toasted oak wraps around ripe tropical fruits. Medium spice upfront gives way to sweet, expressive fruitiness.

Finish: Medium long. Milk chocolate and toasted oak dominate, turning drier toward the end with a soft floral lift.

Comment: Waxy fruit with oaky depth.
