Nose: Gentle autumnal notes of orchard fruits greet you first, followed by dry leaves evoking the season. Over time, caramel and ripe banana emerge, adding a warm sweetness.

Taste: Full-bodied and fruity, with rich and ripe orchard fruits alongside dried fruits. Honey-dipped raisins with a sprinkling of white pepper create a delightful sweetness, while soft oakiness lingers in the background.

Finish: Medium to long, becoming spicier as it lingers. Banana evolves into honey and banana cake, with caramel providing a warm backdrop.

Comment: A cozy and satisfying autumn dram.
