Tasting Notes

"Caramel topped flower blossom aromas come first, followed by fresh melon and oak. The palate gives way to canned peaches and pears, as wood spices and pepper notes join in. A hint of mint is detected for a moment, before the spices sweeten and escalate, leading to a long, warm finish. On the way, but with this, you've arrived!"
