Tasting Notes: The nose opens with a bright, fruit-forward bouquet. Think cherry compote, wildflower honey, and cantaloupe. Beneath the initial sweetness, there’s a soft thread of rosewater and dried herbs. As it opens, richer notes of caramel and baked stone fruit appear. They balance with a hint of worn leather and sun-dried tobacco.
 
The palate is lush and velvety, with layers of flavor that build slowly. Warm caramel sauce and vanilla cream lead the way, followed by honeyed peaches and a splash of ripe melon. There’s a delicate floral bump. Orange blossoms and chamomile tea that add brightness. Mid-palate, toasted almond, black tea, and soft oak create structure and depth. A hint of chocolate and toasted coconut adds a velvety finish. It’s like an Almond Joy as it hits the back palate.
 
The finish is long with a lingering sweetness that never turns cloying. Hints of blackberry jam, sugared citrus peel, and buttery pie crust.
