Nosing: Früchte Birne Vanille Eiche
Fruity with pears, some vanilla oakiness. I don't get much of the coconut, but there is a flinty mineral character to it as well.

Taste: Süße Vanille Früchte Pfeffer
Fruity arrival, sweet, but not overly. Vanilla oakiness, develops into a peppery spiciness.

Finish: Eiche Früchte Gewürze
Medium length with good intensity, lots of spicy oak and retains a good deal of fruitiness.

Comment:
I picked this up on offer at the supermarket, its definitely a good value proposition as the quality is definitely there. I'm not the biggest fan of the nose, and it lacks a bit of complexity, but there are definitely some things to like.
