Nose: Woah! Delightful notes of creamy vanilla. Rich and deep. Just dive in. With time also toasted oak, ripe apples and honey. Hints of waxiness.

Taste: Full bodied. White pepper front wave. Then sugary sweetness and lots of summer fruits. Then creamy vanilla.

Finish: Medium long. More creamy vanilla mixed with strawberry jam and white chocolate.

Comment: Delightful!
