Tasting Notes

Nose: "It has a deliciously fruity intensity with elegant notes of nuts and stone fruits (greengage and crunchy cherries). There are exquisite notes of baked goods (crepe dough and puffed cereals)."

Palate: "It is a charming mouthfeel with notes of fresh pineapple and sudachi zest, amplified by a creamy and delicate texture. It has a persistent finish with a chiseled structure."
