Nose: Mild, fruity and clean. Soft and approachable, with a gentle herbal character emerging over time. Delicate and nicely balanced.
Taste: Full bodied. Big and bold, in surprising contrast to the restrained nose. Wonderfully lively, fizzy and spicy, with plenty of energy. Lots of rich tropical fruits, adding a juicy sweetness to the vibrant spices.
Finish: Medium long finish. Even more tropical fruits now. A touch of mint adds freshness, while the spices mellow out and become softer towards the end.
Comment: Gentle beginnings, bold tropical surprises.
