TASTING NOTES

Nose : Rich caramel aromas lead to ripe currants and a hint of sweet citrus zest. Licorice and strawberry are balanced by a gentle white pepper.

Palate : Sweet summer fruit flavors combine with clementine and a hint of roasted coffee beans. Cinnamon and ginger spices then come to the fore.

Finish : A medium finish with a touch of fresh mint.
