Nose: A lovely, fresh, and clean nose with notes of candied apples and warm apple pie. Inviting and comforting. More vanilla with time.
Taste: Full-bodied with an assertive peppery spice upfront, followed by a delightful wave of sweet orchard fruits. As it develops, tropical fruits join the mix, adding a lively and juicy character.
Finish: Medium-long. The fruitiness persists, remaining bright and sweet, with a subtle hint of mint and oak emerging towards the end.
Comment: Vibrant and well-balanced.
