Explosive tropical fruits emerge immediately with waves of lychee, mango sherbet, guava and pink grapefruit layered alongside vibrant spearmint and saline coastal notes. Rich vanilla cream, polished oak and hints of bergamot tea develop beneath the fruit-forward profile, creating remarkable depth and complexity. The palate is oily and powerful, delivering intense exotic fruits, peppermint, liquorice and subtle herbal spice balanced by a beautiful maritime salinity. The finish is exceptionally long and vibrant, lingering with tropical fruit syrup, mint, citrus oils and refined oak spice.
