Tasting Notes
"Vanilla and crème brûlée lead on the nose, backed by toffee and butterscotch, oak, and a layer of bright fruits off in the back. A burst of tropical fruits then shows on the palate, with peaches and melons, and bubblegum. Sumptuously sweet and smooth, with rich vanillins and hints of black pepper and spice. The finish is long and wonderfully warming, with touches of menthol, as well as more vanilla and fruits. An absolute stunner."
