Rich tropical fruit with a nice touch of toasty oak, buttered toast with light white floral notes, creme brulee. A good amount of ripe juicy fruit on the tongue with a creamy texture, a nice touch of spice, vanilla and cinnamon, finishing with nice balance and freshness with hints of butter and lightly toasted oak spice.
