What critics and judges wrote
The nose brings notes of pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg followed by hints of caramel and apricot. … The sweet caramel note continues into the finish with an added hint of ginger.
Delightful fruit and oak aromas with some hints of beer and hops. The luxurious and creamy palate is gently sweet with a fruit character that continues to enthral. A fine, floral backdrop, and a complex finish.
