Tasting Notes
Colour
Luminous golden honey with warm amber accents and a sunlit caramel glow.
Nose
Opulent, honeyed nose with apricot and peach delicately framed by orange blossom. Vanilla and almond mingle with a lush Sauternes sweetness, citrus zest and hints of soft oak, creating a velvety, dessert-wine aroma that promises richness on the palate.
Palate
Silky and luxurious on the palate, with honeyed apricot, vanilla cream and almond balance. Rich, toffee-flecked sweetness interplays with citrus zest and a gentle oak spine, enhanced by the Sauternes finish. Round and full-bodied, it coats the tongue with creamy texture before a long, elegant finish of refined sweetness and spice.
Finish
Velvet, lingering finish that threads apricot and honey with creamy vanilla and almond pastry. Subtle citrus zest brightens the mid-palate, while a warm, dessert-wine sweetness from the Sauternes cask persists, accompanied by a gentle spice and a whisper of oak. An opulent, mouth-coating closure that invites the next sip.
