Taste: Medium-bodied with balanced, delicate notes of pepper, ripe orchard fruits, and red berries. Warm hints of toasted oak.
Finish: Medium-long, developing nicely. The fruitiness shifts to lighter, yellow fruits, with a sweet note of simple syrup and vanilla. Ends softly with a slightly nutty finish.
Comment: Delicately evolving.
