Tasting Notes
"Fragrances of honeysuckle, orange zest, orange blossom, vanilla and sweet pepper greet the nose. There's loads of vanilla on the palate, along with toasted sesame (like tahini), green pepper, mint, orange and fresh strawberry. It's definitely on the sweet side, but the tangy fruit flavors and a mild black tea earthiness keep it from being overly so. The roasted agave notes still cut through as well. "
