Tasting Notes
"The nose offers a basket of tropical fruits led by guava and papaya, along with honey and melon. The palate is soft, with candied orange peels and bitter citrus pith, and a moderate hit of phenolics in the form of asphalt and rubber. The finish offers plenty of black pepper, along with cloves and Christmas spice."
