The nose is fruity and sweet with plums, raspberries, ginger, cocoa beans, honey, and caramel notes. The taste is complex, tart and fruity with fresh berries, vanilla, cinnamon, licorice, and caramel notes in good balance. The finish is long and smooth with dried fruits, honey, caramel, and brown sugar notes. (January, 2014)
