Nose: Warm and appealing. Caramel sauce, vanilla and orchard fruits. Dried fruits with time.

Taste: Rich and full bodied. Red berries, some ripe some almost ripe. Orchard fruits again. Ginger and cut grass.

Finish: Medium long finish. More of the cut grass, less of the sweet fruits. Drier dried fruits now.
