Tasting Notes,
Nose: Light aromas of pear and jasmine flower, with an enticing dry wood spice.
Palate: The entry is rich, round and creamy with hints of granny smith apple and soft vanilla. Cedar and sandalwood notes gradually emerge, along with a moderate acidity.
Finish: The extended finish is clean and balanced with a trail of minty green apple.
