Nose: Mild and malty with ripe lemon and soft vanilla. Clean, restrained and quietly inviting.
Taste: Medium to light bodied with a bitter-leaning edge. White pepper, gentle oak, bitter orange and vanilla define the profile.
Finish: Medium to short. Straightforward and consistent, echoing the palate without much evolution.
Comment: Citrus with a bitter edge.
