Tasting Notes:
The aroma opens with an inviting wave of ripe orchard and stone fruits — gooseberries, crisp apples, juicy pears and soft apricots layered beautifully alongside delicate sweetness reminiscent of cotton candy, caramel and cream toffee. Notes of vanilla pudding, butter cookies and fruit muesli add a rich pastry-like depth, creating an elegant and nostalgic profile with remarkable maturity.

On the palate, rich cream toffee and vanilla crescents immediately coat the mouth before evolving into layers of ripe apples, apricots and toasted cereal notes. Hints of cracked grain, chewy muesli bars and roasted nuts bring texture and complexity, while subtle earthy notes of straw, burlap and tobacco leaves emerge alongside gently drying oak and wood shavings. A faint pleasant bitterness balances the sweetness beautifully, leading into a long, mature and contemplative finish filled with soft spice, lingering fruit and refined oak character.
