Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Tangy orange icing, rum and raisin ice-cream and salted caramel. Lemon curd, orange blossom, pencil shavings, wine gums and Sauternes. Gentle waft of lemon thyme and powdered lemonade. Palate: Rich, dry wood character up front with macadamia nut, citric acidity from nose still coming through. Nutmeg, peach, crème de cacao, sharp vanilla and light Szechuan peppercorn tickling the palate. Finish: Dry up front shifting to moderately lush fruity mid-palate with zippy acidity on the finish.
