Nose: Ooh, delightful notes of exotic spices and juicy fruit juices. Tropical fruits in abundance - mango, pineapple, apricot and honey dew melon. A veritable cornucopia of tropicalness. With time also notes of milk chocolate.
Taste: Medium body. Again plenty of tropical fruits. White pepper and mild chocolate notes. Fizzy ginger.
Finish: Medium to long finish. Fruity and juicy. Home made custard. Mild caramel with a touch of toasted oak. Warming notes of pepper and green herbs in the end.
Comment: Exquisite!
