PALATE
Smooth and well-textured — honeyed orchard fruit, vanilla cream, soft caramel, gentle citrus, dried apricot, and integrated French oak — silky and harmoniously balanced.
FINISH
Long and elegantly composed — lingering orchard fruit, vanilla, soft oak, and a gentle floral warmth fading slowly — refined and beautifully composed.
