Tasting Notes
"The nose has subtle sweet spice and sandalwood aromas backed up by ripe pear, quince, lychee, and cherry blossom. The palate is of a light to medium weight and fruit-forward, with tingly sweet and peppery spice lingering on the tongue. Hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and earthy Assam tea add to the balance, with another spark of spice and delicate, sweet florals carrying into the zesty finish. "
