Nose

Sweet and malty: hay, fruit salad, ripe pear, pineapple, quince, lemon, barley sugar, candy floss. Gets drier, and woodier, with time.

Palate

Silky and soft with fair balance. The sweetness goes quickly, leaving crisp malt and light spices.

Finish

Bitter orange nut.

Comment

The wood has a fair say in things, the Sauternes playing a subtle role in it all.
