Nose
Bright zingy fruit, a touch grassy, summer blossom and little bit of green apple. This is elegant.
Palate
Pineapple upside down cake and lemon sorbet burst out first before gentle spices of nutmeg and cinnamon emerge.
Finish
The fruit tingles on the palate like popping candy- it’s almost effervescent. As it fades, tropical fruit juice and lemon sherbet remain.
