Nose: Light, fresh, and fruity with a surprising vibrancy. Citrus notes mingle with ripe apples and pears, accented by mild floral aromas. Over time, pencil shavings and candy shop sweetness emerge, eventually giving way to tropical nuances, including grapefruit—a dynamic evolution in the glass.

Taste: Full-bodied and refreshingly lively. The playful fruitiness carries through, though the palate subtly reveals its age with mild oakiness and spices. Menthol, eucalyptus, and green herbs add a fresh, slightly drying edge.

Finish: Long and well-balanced. Fresh, youthful fruitiness intertwines with citrus from the nose, while dusty oak and herbal notes add depth and complexity.

Comment: Youthful exuberance with refined complexity.
