Nose: The aroma opens with a lovely fruitiness, revealing multiple layers of tropical fruits, dried fruits, and ripe apples. Hints of rhubarb, white pepper, and artisan bread add complexity and depth to the scent.

Taste: The palate is full-bodied with a rather spicy delivery. Notes of black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon take center stage, while a background fruitiness and the earthy presence of wet leaves create an intriguing contrast.

Finish: The medium-long finish fades away a bit too quickly, becoming more bland but still pleasant enough. The sweet fruitiness lingers, accompanied by hints of exotic spices and oak.

Comment: A well-layered and fun, but a finish that leaves you wanting more.
