Tasting Notes

This has such complex, fresh and pristine florals with lilacs, frangipani and lemon blossom, intermingled with very ripe peaches, pears, lychees and melon. Plenty of spice, too. The palate is super smooth, creamy and seamlessly carved with spiced white peaches, holding long, silky, sweet and pure. This is so impressive. Drink or hold.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, August 2019

Very perfumed with a classic, heady nose of lychee and exotic fruits nuanced by subtle spices and green peppercorn. The palate is broad, soft and sweet. This is rounded and hedonistic, with dense and honeyed fruits at the core. Long, rounded and fleshy through to the finish.
Notes: 12.5% abv, Indice 5.
