Tasting Notes
"Rose petals and lychee lead on a surprisingly floral nose, along with honey, lemon zest, spice, and then more of the expected oak and darker fruits. The palate is oily, almost creamy-thick, offering raisins, plums, and an assortment of red fruits, before showing drier oak and spice. The finish is short and crisp, with more oak and spice, and a buttery vanilla."
