The first sip reveals a rich, creamy texture, perfectly balanced with a refreshing acidity. Flavors of citrus, ripe pears, and apricots are elegantly complemented by notes of butterscotch, toast, and a light spiciness. The finish is long and elegant, with subtle minerality and a silky touch of vanilla and nutmeg.
