Nose: Soft tropical fruits, toffee and vanilla. Hints of leather and salt. Mild oakiness. It comes across as relaxed and balanced.
Taste: Elegantly rich and full-bodied. Pepper, ginger and nutmeg. Vanilla, honey dew melon and creamy caramel. Again a hint of salt.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Saltier and more spicy now. Somewhat herbal towards the end.
Comment: Elegant and refined.
