Nose: Refined and delicate, with mild notes of dried fruits providing a gentle sweetness. With time, pencil shavings and creamy vanilla emerge.
Taste: Full bodied. Softly spiced and gently herbal, with toasted oak adding warmth and structure. Slightly burnt caramel brings a darker, bittersweet character.
Finish: Long finish. Dried fruits make a welcome return, adding depth and richness. The caramel grows darker and more concentrated now, lingering alongside the gentle oakiness and soft spices.
Comment: Delicate elegance.
