Nosing: Früchte Grüner Apfel Apfel Ananas Melone Tropische Früchte Kiwi mango chutney Kräuter Heide Floral

Taste: Kräuter Floral Orange Ingwer Tropische Früchte a light sweetness Süße jasmine oakiness Eiche Heu

Finish: Minze Zitrone Zitronenschale light, yet long Ingwer

Comment: The nose is quite fruity yet not quite as fruity on the palate. A nice combo of lighter flavors, but that's not to say that light doesn't mean intense flavors.
