Nose: Vibrant, with low-key spices and gentle fruitiness. Orchard fruits and hints of citrus mingle with a mild maltiness.

Taste: Full bodied and creamy. Hints of white pepper give way to waves of light fruitiness and deep sweetness. A touch of mint adds freshness, followed by soft honey.

Finish: Long, creamy and rich. Caramel sauce and sweet dessert notes mingle with almond milk. Very delicate and rather lovely.

Comment: Creamy sweetness with delicate elegance.
