Nose: Shy and softly spoken at first. Light fruitiness and red berries lead, followed by plums, figs and gentle milk chocolate as it opens up.

Taste: Medium to full bodied. Soft spices weave smoothly through orchard fruits and red berries, balanced and approachable.

Finish: Medium to long. Spiciness persists alongside rich orchard fruits and red berry jam, staying vibrant and lively to the end.

Comment: Gentle fruit with lively spice.
