TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Fresh soft-fruits with a hint of vanilla, then light cigar-box notes are perceptible, and a faint hint of expensive ladies' perfume.
TASTE
Sweet, overall. Viscous, but fresh and clean: a pleasant acidity helps to maintain this.
FINISH
Cedar notes emerge in the finish, which is long.
